This is for tomorrow/Thursday. Seabreeze is predicting NW 45kn. Some are thinking of Cheesegraters but the BOM forcasts indicate it will be too west so it looks like it will be a waste of time and gas. The Quickscat image is just to show what is happening out to sea in the Indian ocean.
Compare the Seabreeze and BOM for 11am tomorrow
Is cheesgraters really an option anyway? last I heard the levels were too low and the bar had got a bit more vegitation on it...
How about south side of creery wetlands? if the tides high enough and wind crazy-strong enough then it could be ok there?
My sources have the Westerly change due at about 4pm. Before then it's around 320/340 degrees, which is NW to NNW.
Let's see who gets it right.
I agree Tim, if you're going to try Creery, I'll join you,
Don't fancy sailing on my own in those winds.
Tim , tell us how it goes at Creery, i'll stay at Melville, sailing in 20cm water at Cheesegraters doesn't seem sensible to me.
Heh. looks like its mandurah for me tomorrow then. Have you got a spare boom decrep? kinda dont like the idea of using the backup boom: x6+10cm extra bend curve courtesy of robby@margs... Hmm someone should bring a chainsaw to streamline the run ![]()
For those contemplating gently caressing their nad's with the grater of cheese
