These can be spectacular or nothing-What you think?

I'm going for spectacular, but given that it's a week out, and the forecast chanegd from a howling NW on SAt to a howling southerlie within an hour last night, I'm not betting on anything at this stage.
nice pickup sonic.....
ecmwf (seabreeze) have it sitting further north than gfs with strong S winds kicking in on saturday and weakening through sunday
gfs (windguru) have it further south and kicking in saturday with mod SW winds.
my bets on ecmwf
whats good is that both models have it forming fri/sat so that is a very good sign.
Definately kick in this Saturday afternoon, best will be Sunday morning (at the grand). I absolutely, positively, guarantee it ...because I won't be there 
So there'll be a big depression with lots of rain just over my head from now through till at least next Monday.
I am, however not working on Friday afternoon or Saturday, so fingers are crossed.
So, if there is a bit of west in it, does that mean Wellington Point ?
I'd rather sail blue water. What about Bongaree ??
I'll probably do Currumbin or Kirra on Friday as that's close to work.
Will Kirra work in a SSW, does that mean the run is from Kirra toward Tugun and would that mean the wind would be slightly off shore? Shearwater will no doubt be lumpy and busy, would bayside Wello be the best option?
haha every week in the last 3 weeks the long range forecast has predicted wind then nothing, im not getting my hopes up for this one either already getting less and less again
. Must be something about loft masts and killing luffs

speaking of looks.
wait till you see my new sails.... 
only a few months now till windsurf xmas!!!!!! 
see you on the water saturday. 
If I said I was re-doing a deck grip one one of my boards in preparation for the weekend would that jinx it?
Looking like nothing from the "LOW" i am looking at Lord Howe but think it may be cold with the family and to be honest a little boring unless someone can tell me diffrent, Green Island sounds a better family option.
I thought about Lord Howe as well, but to be honest using their hire gear doesn't really appeal to me, I dislike freestyle wave boards, so its not really a big plus for me.
I'm was thinking that Green Island will be the better option, whether or not for speedweek. I also want to do my Open water PADI so I have something to do if its not freakishly windy enough. However have heard some talk about WA in October, so might hang on for that, will be more fun with a group of people.
Also I've been lead to believe that somewhere like thailand or vietnam could possibly be just as cheap. So maybe thats another option if your looking.
Where would be the best beach to try and catch that low? i have a sister in burlie where are the best beaches for windsurfing near there?? i was thinking of flying down. cheers fellas..
If by any chance we have a SW this weekend i was thinking of trying Woody point, has anyone tried it??
Hi guys
I went to Lord Howe last year at the start of August for two weeks and had a great time.
I took all my own gear - JP 101 FSW and 77 Fanatic Freewave + 4.2m, 4.7m, 5.7m and 6.7m sails but if I do get there this year I would just hire gear - it's really good gear. Got over there last year via Macquaire Air. The 12 seater plane was turned into a 3 seater packed with windsurfing gear in the packed (floor to roof). Great adventure and perfect flying conditions. About $900 return with gear but not sure what prices are around this year for this option, could also consider the boat for gear.
Great flatwater blasting, bump and jump and waves in places. In the one run I could go from dead flat water into 1m swell and then into waves over a couple of kilometers. We had unseasonally light winds last year so only got 8 days of 10-30 knots, mainly 15-20 out of 13. Other days spent snorkeling, swimming and feeding fish at Ned's beach and relaxing. Great social nights/dinners.
For speed, bump and jump or freestyle it would be a great spot. Waves would also be good for the more adventurous around the reefs. I had a 3/2 wetsuit and was never cold after 6-8 hours on the water and I'm from central QLD.
BTW for the family - snorkeling, round island trips, feeding 1m kingfish in 0.3m water, lots of walks, get around the island on bicycles and quiet but social nights. (Last year there was a family with two kids and I think they had a pretty good time). Beach is great.
That's a 4.7m in the photos.
Hey ken, that doesn't sound too bad. I will have an abudance of free time late june/early july. Depends on how busy things are going with work. Will keep you updated anyway, but I probably won't really know until mid june.
When is green island speed thingy?
Blue dog cheers mate will work on the misses, driving me nuts no wind for 4/5 weeks now shouting at everyone,kids, dog the lot!!!
