hey Balou I agree with your comment "I was planning a couple days off Dundee but this wind and swell is starting to build...I a bit undecided on a plan b at this stage."

The NT Bom marine wind shows what you are saying, strong wind warnings possible and it looks like a low pressure system as well. Rain?

Wonder if the Tales from the Tinny boyz can ask to NT BOM on their show....

Oz Cyclone Chasers pick it up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR7zAzUu ... edded#t=89

Cyclone Jack or Cyclone Frank?

Dh does it mention if winds will be picking up during the day and dropping off at night or is that just a overview?

Look like the start of the dry season pattern, windly in the morning dropping off before an afternoon sea breeze. Oz Cyclone Chasers are saying potential for Cyclone development north of Darwin is good. You can see that starting in the NT BOM bottom picture I put up.

Me the misses and two other couples are heading to east alligator for 3 nights. Be interesting on these big tides plus the fact that non of us have fished there before. Does anyone know how much water is needed to get past the first downstream rock bar?
