I don't know about you guys, but the last couple of days we have had really weird tides here in Bunbury, with our high tides being lower than our predicted low tides for the last 3 days.

Check the DPI

When I was taking photos of the Australind estuary which I had never seen so low- others come up saying they had never seen it so low before. Some - who had just come through Mandurah said there was no water on either side of the Mandurah bridges (bone dry) and even saying the Dawesville channel had huge sandbanks sticking out of the water.

It wasn't until later in the evening as we were sitting around discussing the abnormal tides that we were warned by a friend with a rumour travelling around our town - apparently from those in the know....

"There is a 5 metre tide coming!"

Now of course this is probably just b******t, but in light of recent events in the Indian ocean we are quite intrigued as to where all our water is going.

A quick search of Google News tells of countless high tides flooding many places in the world over the last 7 or so days(since the 11th I think) Check it out.

So my questions to all knowledgable Seebreeze surfers is....

What is Mother Earth doing?
Is the 5m tide coming, are these tides normal?
Has mankind doomed the planet?
Should we be keeping our gear rigged up at home and our wetsuit nearby just in case?

Any info would be greatly appreiciated.

Titan has aligned itself with our moon recently, which causes a greater gravitational pull on the earths oceans, when this coincides with natural neap tides, we find extreme tidal movements, this has been exaggerated by the Tsunami effect, so my advice is to not panic just yet, however Astronomical charts do indicate that in 2034 all the palnets will be aligned along the same rotational axis of the Sun, and that this will cause unusually strong gravitational effects for a period of 2 weeks, so you can save your panic for then.

only when Hardie will finally stop gravitationning and aligned himself with Titan that the world will be safer

its all a load of crock
it all happens every morning roughly around 800am when hardie rolls out of bed
you need to learn to become more lighter on your feet hardsack
(damn im gonna cop it now)
