Last time it was ## it was awesome...

Might be a chance of a sea breeze Thur-Sat. Damn La Nina is causing a repeat of last summer's crap conditions.
Without wanting to sound like a fascist, if I can't get planing on a 5.8m on a 109l board then it is not windy at all..... though it is a little more difficult now that I am a post-xmas 88kg rather than a pre xmas 83kg...
so... I'm going to Waratah on Friday. (Fat Tom - are you coming? Or are you feigning work this week?)
This is going to sound terrible but I'd rather it was twenty knots or nothing. Sixteen knots is just annoying flirting by the weather gods...
Everyday this week is '15 to 20 knots' on the bom. It's like describing a walk to the shops as 'somewhere between five minutes and two hours', a mail order bride as 'younger than sixty' or when a plumber says 'I'll be round between eight am and six pm'.
I just had another sail with my 6.1 freestyle kit for over 2 hours at a southern beach and it was great. Maybe not choppy enough for jumping but still ok for swell riding.
Waratah bay @ the Gap looking very good for Friday with the ENE forecast! Should be a good consistent 18 knots + all day.
