Could be - early signs are good.. 18 secs 8ft is a bit small but nice separation. Map shows possibility. Will monitor and avoid commitments...

havent had a seabreeze myself this season but fingers crossed this weekend is looking the goods.
if things are unfavourable robe way consider a carpool down here. many a safe'ish swag site.
i think theres heaps of crew frothing for decent wavesail

Good find, never seen that one. Well 15-20 and 16-22 is pretty similar so not much difference between the two.

Anyone going down?? New quads are good that's without even having them in decent waves yet! Hope this weekend will be the first proper test.

By the look of the swell forecasts on the MSW and SWellnet some waist high sets may be about as big as you'll get till late saturday arvo - but it will still be bigger than here

BOM Forecast says 15 - 25. Mitton forecast is 10 - 15. I think I'll keep the powder dry for a better map...

Rush,
The quads are like home sweet home, had a couple of sails on the 82 litre and a couple of times on my custom 120 litre. I can't believe how good the set up is, planning early, lots of drive but can still push the fins out. Even had my big 120 litre tuna board working now, works way better as a quad than a twin fin. Its the best allround wave set up I have used, best of all worlds in one fin set up...

Middleton might be looking good for tomorrow if the northerly hangs around for a while.
I might head down that way... C tomorrow.
