Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 There can be really decent surf on the Nihonkai eh. Weve hit Hamada loads of times but ive also heard of some places up near Ishikawa too. Would love to have a board again but then I need a car Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Yeah I've never really hit anything too decent on the nihonkai. At best waist to chest high... Link to post Share on other sites
Rag-Doll 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 ... and it's a nasty one too. From the Australian new paper - Hong Kong, Taiwan and provinces on China's southern coast are on alert for Typhoon Chanchu which is churning northward after killing 37 people in the Philippines. The typhoon, with winds gusting up to 170 kph, was forecast to make landfall east of Hong Kong in Guangdong province later on Wednesday. It is the strongest storm on record to enter the South China Sea in May. The port city of Shantou could be hardest hit, the state-run China Daily cited a provincial weather official as saying, although it was possible the storm could veer eastward up the Taiwan Strait. Rescue ships and helicopters were standing by, and all sea transport to the Chinese island province of Hainan has been halted, the report added. The Hong Kong Observatory issued a strong wind signal number three, which means that winds with mean speeds of 41-62 kph were expected in the former British colony. Taiwan's central weather bureau issued sea and land warnings. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, sometimes and I've had it really good, but the distance, time & cost make it hard for me to burn up there for a dawnie. Pacific coast and I am 90mins away in Hiace and 50 mins away in the Evo!

bushpig 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Nice, being in Hiroshima makes it a 4hour drive across Shikoku to the Pacific Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Yeap, Hiroshima is a bad place, though 4 hrs to Shikoku is much closer than me! Coz I start at 4pm most days I can drive down the night before, sleep and wake up nice n early have a long long surf or a few shorties, a snooze and cruize back home... can't say it's really close but it allows me to do that..

bushpig 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 well yeah, but you said you are close(ish) to the Pacific right? For me it's a minimum 4 hours. I don't get down there too often... Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Typhoon Chanchu huh? I thought it wasnt classified as "#1" or "# whatever" in the Japanese system until it entered Japanese waters which it hadnt done when they were already calling it #1. Interesting. Link to post Share on other sites

If you can predict cyclones in Japan without historical data, why do you need historical data to predict typhoons? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Indo I noticed that, but thought you rethought your dig and self-deleted. Not so? Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Nice question fjef. I guess the Charts need a little re-calibration, referring to the planets as they were a couple of thousand years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
