Where do you guys get your information from? Looks like reasonable wind to me (especially down south):

yes but no but yes but no but yes

It wasn't like that yesterday. The met dicks are changing the forecast quicker than they are changing their socks.

Somebody mentioned sticking their finger in the air. Who was that ?

Bugger Exam in the morning, unfortunality enginnering degree Trumps windsurfing on this rare occassion, Have fun guys let us know how it was...

Yeah, you're not wrong, they've done it again...




but at the same time the verbal forecast says something different:

IDS1002304
Gulf Waters:
Saturday until midnight : Wind: S/SE 13/18 knots and afternoon sea breezes
15/20 knots. Sea: 1 to 1.5 m, reaching 2 m during the afternoon. Swell: S/SW 0.5
to 1 m on southern Spencer Gulf increasing to 1 to 2 m by mid afternoon.
Sunday : Wind: S/SE 10/15 knots, easing to 5/10 knots during the morning then
SW/SE 13/18 knots with sea breezes during the afternoon and evening. Sea: 0.5 to
1 m, rising to 1.5 m with sea breezes. Swell: S/SW 1 to 1.5 m on southern
Spencer Gulf.
Monday : Wind: SE/SW 5/15 knots and afternoon sea breezes 10/20 knots.

... I give up, take your pick!...
... a "maybe" 15/20 knots is is not my thing...I'll be staying @home

There was about shoulder high surf with good breaks between the sets. Was a bit light - but no trouble getting out and got lots of rides. Was cross off shore with nice peeling smooth waves. Got 2.5 hours of sailing.

Buying a camera today!

sailed at Beachport was a 15 to 20 seabreeze got out for around 4 hours, was some good ramps for jumping but mainly just had a blast out the bay. was on a 5.0 ezzy wave should have rigged a bit bigger but was still basting ok. went upwind to the demole reef but swell was not quite big enough for it to break properly.

I think we definately need to get down to Nene and join you Pilchard - just hard to make the call and get a leave pass from the family

Maybe over the xmas new year period

Looks like fun

pretty sure that it was one wave in a very slow sequence.
didnt alow much time to be the next john carter maybe 5 minutes tops.
it was a set wave but not one of the biggest for the afternoon.

not quite mast high ian but very solid!
big test coming up tomorrow as theres going to be a 6m sw swell and 20k westerly slapping into the boat, might be giving the gulls a feed
looks like the seabreezes are trying to kick in but i think theres not enough heat inland yet, cant wait till the adelaide folk start to cook lol
