Beautiful 20 knot NE'er forecasted for today was downgraded to ZERO. Felt like 400% humidity... racing was pulled at 3.30pm with glassy waters.

Forecast looks sweet for tomorrow; 15 knot southerly's all day. Should be sweet :-)

Hope it comes in for you!

southerly is on the lake and building

A good day on the water!

After a Stella wind forecast, Saturday's conditions of zero wind and muggy conditions was a bit of a surprise....Luckily racing was called off nice an early so we could concentrate on the potential of a full on days racing on Sunday.
Sunday did not look like disappointing with a 25knot southerly roaring down the bay at 9am.
The game plan for the day was to do 4 back to back races with no break, as the wind was predicted to drop quickly by early afternoon.
So racing kicked off right on time at 11am in what was already a quickly dropping wind, but was still a perfect clean 16knots. 4 races were completed in both the Open and Free Formula divisions with Steve Walsh AUS-55 dominating the open and Andrew Vacopoulos AUS-966 and Niall Kinch AUS-270 fighting it out in the FF.

Results will be posted on www.tour.windsurfingnsw.com + the facebook page asap if they haven't already.
Thanks to Marmong Point Club and the race crew for managing such as slick days racing. Next stop for the Formula Fleet is Heat 5 and the Down Under Pro www.fw-australia.com
