Hi Folks,
Can anyone remember how to wavesail, because we are running the State titles in 2012!
Holding period – Sunday 5th, 12th, 19th or 26th August 2012
Competition Run Criteria/Location
Decisions based on Buoyweather – wind and swell
www.buoyweather.com/wxnav6.jsp?program=nww3BW1&grb=nww3®ion=AS&latitude=-35.5&longitude=138.5&zone=9&units=eCalled 2 days prior – check Seabreeze SA forum
Forecast Wind >= 15 - 20 knots
Day St – NW, swell > 2' (Swellnet)
Goolwa – NW, swell < 2' (Swellnet)
U-turns – N, swell > 1.5' (Swellnet)
Kent Res – S, swell > 3' (Swellnet)
A bias for side-off or side shore conditions at the start of the holding period. If onshore conditions occur at the end of the holding period we'll still call it and have a Pozo SA style! Event will be called on the basis of the forecast, but sailed in the "nowcast". Be prepared! If there is no comp in August, the Beachport competition in October becomes the State titles by default.
