its weird how every single forecast including bom marine have wind early saturday dropping off by late afternoon and nothing sunday...
Green point on Sunday at the moment...
NW is ideal for green point and means a shorter swim in at the end
Looks like its Green Point as the place to go Sunday Saturday
.
Early in the morning for me (circa 7AM), might even get some wind at that time.
it's got ****house written all over it this weekend.
Get the brownie points in and save them for a decent weekend.
time to collect some stamps

I just checked the forecast for the prom and there is a wind warning out that way, so fellas if ya real kean to do some driving, i would head therecause there maybe a few smart dudes wizzing up and down the pit while we all are back home skunked
I'l be out at Barwon river on Sat midday, followed by a few corona's in Gtown
Sun Im hoping I can hit point danger (Torqs) or the back beach depending on how big the swell is, as its meant to be ch-chunky
BOM has downgraded the forecast on Sunday from 25- 30kts to bugger all 15 kts perhaps 20 if we are lucky. May be they are wrong as usual and it's blowing instead.[}:)]

Good session this morning at Punta Verde.

Waggles was there too. It was good from about 10 to 11:30am
just an FYI for you big smokers
clifton springs and portarlington were a steady 18-20 (+) knots right up to 2pm and swell was small at around 0.5 - 1ft max.
Ive found my new spots for the crappy NW/ N's. woot
There was over hald dozen of us at Bonbeach until the wind started to drop off at 4pm. Was good for at least 3 to 4 hours about 20+ knots from the North.
Blue skies would have been nice.
Wish I had of gone out. It was borderline all day. Turned out better than forecast.
