little low pressure system sitting north of Exmouth
Submitted by Bodie on Fri, 2012-03-09 14:25
anyone watching this low???
Wonder how much rain it might drop or if it could intensify before the crowds from Perth head north??
Locals in Exie, hows the water in the gulf, is it / was it clearing up?
Showing some rain, thumping easterlies and a reasonable swell this weekend!!
Which comp is on this weekend ??? :D

only thing is if it does go ferel on us next week, then it will muck up the water for marlin and sailies!
my prediction is a little Cat1 hitting the coast next week Wed around gulf of Exmouth, as that would be cr@p for us!!!!!

That will be fun at the Lighthouse caravan park for those who are tenting!
If this happens, we have a 6 bed spare separate unit on our propperty and could be used for a hideout.
Hopefully it just blows away to somewhere else!

Waters in exy
Yep, the water over the last week has been the cleanest I've seen it. Looks like that may be put to an end.
Typical I start 5 weeks off next weekend.

did read on the news website,
did read on the news website, its still a 'low chance' of the one near exmouth forming.
To be honest, the pressure isnt dropping. unless it moves away i doubt it will form (thats my opinion). US navy have not said its going to form either. However the one up north may pull some fuel from the low pressure near exmouth.
Honestly hope it all just F@#ks off :D
