20+ kts ESE predicted for the weekend - which is offshore for the eastern beaches of PP Bay. Is there anywhere reasonably safe for beginners and intermediates in ESE winds reasonably close to Melbourne - perhaps on the western side of PP Bay?
Or maybe Lysterfield?
Thanks
Lysterfeild does not work in east winds, sorry dude. Every one sails south rickets and mentone in ESE winds on the eastern side, but there not beginner spots.
Try Altona near the pier. Only trouble is it's full of kites so keep further west. It's shallow and the breeze really blows in late in the arvo. Good for advanced sailors when its on.
i'm just going off the seabreeze swellographs,,,
2m with a bit of a push from the wind on a beachy should knock up a decent wave at SP....
was thinking of flinders big leftty ????, or not enough on the swellograph for here...??
i know once ya sail there you want to keep going back and back and back again
not quite "close to Melbourne", but if you are up for a bit of distance, given SP is looking like a 30kn easterly on Saturday, Inverloch will probably be good too.
Point Cook - great for beginners - try and go at high tide - but still works in low tide.
Anyone know any shark attack survival techniques??? I heard that they hate the smell/tastse of pi$$ and if you gouge them in the eye's (apparently quite sensitive) you will send them fleeing....? Not that I am encouraging anyone to pi$$ themselves at sandy harbour, smells bad enough as it is!
