Its been reported in the news lately that with climate change we will see more El Nino events.

So what will this mean for us surfers in Australia?

And what will this mean for surf conditions in Indonesia?

Not sure about the surf indo except that I remember the worst summer of waves on the east coast ever was in a strong El Niño. More importantly it means drought for both countries.

Time for everyone to invest in a water tank me thinks... two years ago was an El Niño and we got a few good east swells from tc's out near Fiji.
Personally I fear drought more than the shit waves El Niño brings. You'll still get a decent waves here and there
