[quote="ozuncle"]Yes Barry,
This was January!

This is not a rough sea if you look out over the gulf you will see small white crests on some waves this is just about a force 3 wind speed 8-12 mph or 7-10 knots. The reason that the waves coming ashore are quite big is because the water is shallow and it hits a sand bar, rocks, or a ledge that makes the power of the sea terbulant and unpredictable with tide and wind direction. Take a look and google the Beaufort wind scale i look at this with a lot of intrest as i have been a keen sailor since child hood and i drive some of the biggest dockside cranes in the world. Very Happy Cheers

Hi Kendo,
I too have had considerable experience on the ocean waves.
Mainly fishing off the WA coast.
Want to see my photos. Very Happy
It may be that further out, the sea may be a bit calmer. I dont know.
I remember the day and I would estimate the wind to be about 15 - 18 knots.
Anyway, who cares?
Cheers

Kendo,

He's right about that link. It redirects you ti zetnet.com, which is an internet/telecoms site.

Certainly nothing there about wind.

try and google the beaufort wind scale this is a recognised offical scale with a discription of sea or land conditions with a wind scale rating force 1 to force 12.
Ozuncle i have not been to Perth for 7 years but have been there 4 times staying at Woodvale,the thing about the shark just thinking back to my happy memorys of WA but the thing i liked the most was the freemantle doctor the sea breeze that comes off the indian ocean in the afternoon and cools things down a bit, just nice when your sat outside the OBH drink in hand. Cheers Very Happy
