I'd love a northerly session at Queens today, but I'd have to see 20kts on the reports before driving up. Tomorrow morning looks a good bet though.

the change is starting to move through mid nsw.... looks like it's fairly ordinary.

i'll be trying early to get the most of it also but i'm not feeling very confident.

regardless of what the weatherman predicts, it's rarely ever windy on the g/c till 10 onward, so i still thinks we get good wind lunch-ish & arvo

look at the peel island graph and take off 5 knots, that'll give you the current wind at VP and wello will be similar.

dido the other guys as well. wind doesn't fill in till after 10am usually.

Hey scully just ignore that wello station it's about 3k inland.

Peels abit funny sometimes can be 5 knots but off, today i would say 2-3 knots diff.

Yeah, I started off at shearwater at about 9.30 this morn. Wind against tide and powerboats everywhere, so went up to Manly, it was awesome!

Hey IKW,
had a great sail Monday lunchtime, fully powered on my 6.3 at Buddina beach Kawana. The day before was the same story, but in a Northerly. You guys should check it out if you want to get in to some small waves. So far I've only ever seen one other windsurfer out - usually just a swarm of kiters doing a downwinder. A good place for the SUP also.
