i am a pretty keen observer of the weather ,as we all are ,look at at a truck load of sites and have a laymans understanding of some of the modelling ,Qscat scans etc
i generally don't have a bone to pick with the bureau as i am acutely aware of the variations that happen with the weather due to local topography etc yada yada...
locally we get some big variations in wind strength even over distances of 8-10 kms but after not having a kitesurf for over a month and with a bit of expectation of getting at a run or 2 in .....i am of the firm belief that in winter the the boffins go north for a nice break and the bureau lets the work experience kids write the forecasts
didn't even break 10 knots .....tragic
the forecast for saturday
what actually happened
