This week looks like we are in for a change from those monotonous weather patterns you mentioned Colmait.

We went for a drive up the coast today and stopped at Point Arkwright this morning to look at the swell and the waves. It was incredibly windy and the water was very rough. We then drove down to Mooloolabah where the water is normally quite calm. The waves were certainly being whipped up by Alfred's influence and were much larger and messier than normal. The lifeguards were walking up and down the beach telling people to get off the rocks that the waves were crashing onto.

This is a photo of how messy the shoreline looked today:




It will be very interesting over the next couple of days to see where TC Alfred goes. If it is going to cross the coast then hopefully everyone in it's path are listening to the warnings and preparing for it.
