looks like its sticking around dead east instead of south east. is ricketts still ok? if not where is good to sail?
good question al! i wouldnt have any idea on a easterly! I think its cross off at parky!
Did you get a sail in yesterday! was interesting, with like one million guys out there!
I nearly sailed onto the reef!
Not good!
Yeah steve, you were ankle deep on the reef :-)
Looks like today might not happen, its nearly 4 and its only 15knots ![]()
nah didnt get out yesterday. today was meant to be better! boms got 20-30 for the evening so hopefully...
If you boys are sailing tonight let me know! It is blowing its tits off down my way, but I will drive up and sail with you guys!
I got home late but went out at Parkdale for about 45 mins at 8 pm. Slightly offshore at Parkdale, and the frequent gusts were intense - 25+. OK sailing but very bumpy ride with very short wave period. Painful going out but good on the way in, and reasonable gybing inshore. It's a good spot for solo sailing in a ESE should something break - you would soon wash up at Ricketts or Mentone.
Looks like (from what I have heard and once experienced) Flinders should be good on Sunday, with an E to SE wind to 30 knots in the arvo. I have no idea if the waves will be up but if so that will be cross to cross-offshore.
I don't think the waves will be that flash on Sunday! Surf report is for 1-2 ft. If it is 30 knots and there are waves I am up for it. Flacka, Ali what about you boys?
hmmmm i think sunday will probably be rubbish with no ground swell. just as well seeing my wave board is in tassie!
