Yes, you have put a lot of research into this and tbh I trust your findings for this reason. What are your thoughts on what this guy said about the items being found in the dunes originating from the ocean/car?
The things may have just been taken south by current and then washed ashore, the seat was found at the Cove (south of groyne)
for the appalling sickening convictions BRE was accounted for, would of thought he needed a psychiatrist or courses(if applicable)

very informative and interesting and actually learnt somethings about the way the oceans workthis pic with blue marks shows the northerly wind that followed the car entering on the Monday Am.
if items are in the water after being sucked out to sea in the current then they will be taken south, 1988 was la Nina and the leeuwin current is stronger than usual also . the North wind held for a few days before turning into a rain drenching storm cell. see in this synoptic map dated 21-25th June 88
this would wash in things if floating still

SWELL VS SURF
We can learn more with this information:
Swell
"Swell" is a group of waves that travel across the ocean, created & energized by wind blowing on the back of the waves. “A swell” suggests a group of waves with a distinguishable height, period and direction, more than likely coming from a unique source (such as a specific hurricane, storm, or even a local wind system).
Below is a snapshot of wave height across the North Atlantic (click here to go to the chart). The red boxes highlight a couple of swells traveling towards Europe:
Here is the corresponding swell analysis graph for a spot on the West coast of Portugal — Supertubos:
All different swells arriving at a spot, having travelled across the ocean, are laid underneath the surf height in the swell analysis graph
I have highlighted the 2 different swells identified on the North Atlantic chart arriving on Friday evening and Saturday night. As Supertubos is open/exposed to the direction of the arrows, you can see that the resulting surf size at the beach increases with the arrival of both swells. Multiple swells will combine and interact with one another, to produce the surf (or more simply the breaking waves) you see at the beach.
Surf
As swells arrives at the beach, shallow water forces waves to slow down and rise up above the surface, morphing as it goes through a process known as "wave shoaling".
Surf is swell that has arrived in shallow enough water to rise up above the surface, and break. You can imagine that the lefthand side of the below diagram represents swell, and the righthand side represents surf.
A single wave in a swell has two dimensions: height and length. Period and height provide us with both the X and Y measurements of the wave, respectively. Measuring length in seconds might seem strange, but measuring a wave’s length in meters would be extremely difficult in practice. So, to get an idea of the wavelength of a wave, you simply measure the time it takes for a buoy to get "bobbed" up and down, in seconds — the time it takes for 2 successive crests/troughs to pass a fixed point.
Swells; a deeper dive
That height and length we mentioned will give us an idea of the "volume" of water the wave is moving.
If you imagine a wave with a long wavelength but small size (e.g. 2ft @ 20 seconds), you might find that — sitting on a boat — the up/down movement feels minimal. But, as the volume of water is quite large (due to the high period of 20 seconds); when this swell arrives at shallow water, it morphs in a way to produce large surf.
Likewise, you might have a swell with a height of 5ft and a period of 6 seconds... This would be quite typical of "stormy", or "messy" seas. On a boat, you will feel a lot of up-and-down movement, maybe even to the point of throwing up! The swell size might be large; but due to the small period of the wave, the "volume" of water that will be forced up above the surface as it arrives at the beach won't be so significant, and therefore will not necessarily result in "large" surf.
What about drift?
when young on my fathers runabout had always wondered how easy and dangerous we could be in another position from the last and within you not even notice it in a very short time frame.
keeping to my personal opinion, was the attention deliberately focused there in the ocean whilst the opposite direction her disappearance was in full work
who knows
A along period swell is when you have more time to catch a few winks of rest between waves, if there are no shorter period swells as well at a particular location.
Do you really want see them all again bfew ?
Could not have been Michael Schultz, he didn't join 10 until 1998. On June 20th 1988 channel 10 had existed in Perth for exactly one month only (Not sure how long the test pattern ran for before broadcasting started). It was launched in Perth on May 20th 1988.
Thanks. That narrows it down about 50% of the population.
I'm sure it was John Barnett that I meant to post the name of from my google research yesterday, when somehow I typed Michael Schultz as the answer.
Grant Woodhams Channel 7?
But they weren't in a dedicated Julie Cutler thread, and are not easy to find.
I'm sure it was John Barnett that I meant to post the name of from my google research yesterday, when somehow I typed Michael Schultz as the answer.
It was definitely John's face that came up in my results.
His big glasses were unforgettable.
I wonder if we were to pitch a date at him, he'd remember what the weather or forecast was for that day?
'The station commenced broadcasting on 20 May 1988, making Perth the last of the capital cities to get full network service. By this time, it had been scaled back considerably and was little more than a low-cost relay of network programming from Sydney, without the local content that Treasure had wanted to produce.NEW (TV station) - Wikipedia

The first news team included former Nine newsreader Greg Pearce, Alan Hynd, Gina Pickering, Peter Perrin, Debra Bishop, Ian Brayshaw and John Barnett.'

The only reason I remembered his name was because I was reflecting on where I was living at the time and that was in Barnett St in North Perth.I'm sure it was John Barnett that I meant to post the name of from my google research yesterday, when somehow I typed Michael Schultz as the answer.

it's all cool, i'm sure you are reputable, that is why i find your posts very interesting and informative, my posts are just extending a bit with the hope others can see another thought pattern related to this the overall subject of weather patterns and predictions relating to this case we here are interested to know more, my saying is the "more info available, the more chances of keeping clues available", so keep them coming friend, they all are important in solving a case
Ch 2 = John Holland
You mean, Peter Holland (not John the builder).
if i recall john barnett went on to host Postcards WA? met him once when he was filming at Ascot race course. said hello and had a quick chat, seemed like a genuine guy from what i recall. after filming the segment he came over and said hi to people that were standing about watching, didnt snub the crowd at all/
