Whats the predictions on the wind this summer is it guna be a windy or a no so windy season

For NSW: A little wind early on, then a crap season - that's my call unfortunately...

Waiting patiently.

50% chance of La Nina event in 2011/2012 season.

Its on like Donkey Kong!!!! No point being negative

Last season it was **e 'cos a large tongue of hot water came down the WA coast from Indo, all the way to Margaet's, with sea surface temps up to 3c above normal up to 5ookms offshore between Dec-March. The seabreezes failed because there wasn't the temperature gradient between the shore and coastal plain. With El Nino conditions crumbling over east I think you'll find BoM saying an "average" season is expected this year. Story about it on p42 of the MOTORING section of saturday's, Sept 3, The Weekend West.

WA will blast early on. 3rd week of sept we will have steady winds with a couple of cold fronts to stuff it up for a few days till November.November till 2nd week of feb then, nothing much....December will be consistent 28+ knots. Yippee.
El Davo is hanging just North of Perth

like yours my cup is half empty too for good regular wind this summer and i agree with Bennie that that is how it will be for me too

WA gunna get windy.

The Sydney Northern Beaches gunna be crap.

That's my 2 cents.

there is no such thing as a non windy WA summer

If perth sucks it will be smoking on the south coast or at Margs /Yalls.
Last season was awesome down south - where it gets really windy.

If Perth is windy then the south coast will be wet and not so pleasant

Also -If the Seabreezes arent working in Perth then there will be some nice sessions to be had early morning on the river

The only question is - how far can you travel ? Its all about being flexible in your outlook (and hopefully your schedule too)


I do believe that Perth is getting a heat island / bubble effect as it develops - it is definitely less windy here than it used to be.

Its on already,

kit-able seabreeze yesterday, Get yourself the family tub of Voltaren

Saw everyone kiting a clean SWer on my way home yesterday. Looked like they were blasting along on 11m kites, I certainly wasn't pedalling much on my bike, bring on summer yeooooooow!

There wil be windy days in your area when...
- You have to work, attend compulsory family social events, you've sold your old kite and your new one hasn't arrived, or you are injured.
There will be absolutely no wind in your area when ....
- You have a day off, are on a kiting holiday, or have just pumped up your new kite.

Well if it is anything like today it's on!!! 3 hours of unfit power!!
