I was thinking Dorans today with the more westerly winds then Saturday afternoon Carlton with it swinging more to the NW. Happy to be convinced otherwise!!

Not a bad liitle sail today, gusty but a few small waves.
good to see some new faces in the waves.
A few snaps of the day from Morgan and the last one shows Rob lakin accepting his complimentry tug from Veitz and German.

Bugga bugga bugga, missed out on every thing. I'm keen as today, heading out very shortly, looking at wind explorer doesn't seem to be much swell but can't beat physically checking, so any one can see waves please let know.

The swell at Clifton is similar to yesterday, maybe a touch smaller and without the bigger sets every 15 minutes or so. South has occasional chest high waves so by gauging that there would be a least something worthwhile at Carlton surely ? have fun !

Any swell today. I'm keen for a waves ail at Carlton. Can't hang onto the slalom gear in these winds so may as well hit the waves.

Just checked Clifton and yes there are waves. 2-3 foot on sets so Carlton could be the go.

Correct Buzzy but the surfing dood's tell me it may build. Can only hope but a local report would be good before the drive.

Nice couple of pics Morgan, well done mate given the sand blast conditions, I'm still digging sand out of my ears.

Looked like it would have been a bit of an event for you guys heading back across the sorell/midway point causeway yesterday.

I had to to pull a fallen tree off the coast road just after Connellys Marsh on the way home yesterday......... ah well in a days fun.

Sunday was 'Big Sunday' with some very decent size waves. It took its toll on Tim with a nasty sprain/break to his ankle ' ouch' perferming a massive shallow water 'aerial'
Anyway, thanks to everyone who turn up to the 4 day 'Carlton Cold Classic'
