I have been living here for 10yrs and dont remember such a poor summer, any comments?
but TODAY is the first day of summer. It's been blowing all night and is currently 15 knots ENE. So far summer has been great...Mind you Spring certainly sucked.
looks like a burst of wind Saturday - but they seem to change the forcast significantly each day
+ 5 Ever the optimist I have to conceed I havent ever seen less wind here in the first three month of a season.
On the up side I've learned to like riding big gear. Once you get over 8.5m it is really cruisy and suprisingly efficient. The water is relatively flat in the light winds so you don't have the resistance caused by the chop when using 6.5 - 8.0 sized sails.
Still prefer to be fully lit on a 5.4 but any time on the water is good.
If seasons were bands then this one is Milli Vanilli!

Yeah bleeding terrible season and I've seemed to miss what little wind there has been, and what happened to the northerlies ? Must change soon............
Been absolute crap here all year and even Bowen was not as good as usual years,trips away made up for it though.
I think I'm going too shift my sailing local, I figure it can't get worse than SEQ these last months. Just come back from work in Taiwan and seen a spot on the west coast they reckon blows its guts out pretty regular, at least they have a wind farm in close proximity to prove it! Chunan is the name and a local school + hire kit by the cool Tony Fish, seemed plenty of average surf and SUP to fill in no wind days. Blew my soxs off that the place even existed, but as I'm going to be spending plenty of time up there, might as well take advantage while up there plus the locals seem super happy to see some foreign interest in their little spot of paradise to boot.
