Keep in mind that it says its 3.5 feet today. It is like a lake.

If it's double the size by that scale it's 2-3 feet real. A lot of countries measure the faces. 8 feet would be a bit over head on that scale, too easy!

I'd take swell sizes on magic seaweed and halve them at least. I think they use the same swell gague as andy mac.

Well it looks like that forecast has changed already - last night 8.5ft SE swell now its saying 3.5ft NE chop with light northerly wind - and i'm guessing its going to change a few more times before we get to race day.
Its still too far off to get an accurate forecast so lets just hope we get good conditions on the day!
