couple of shots from the republic of tas today, solid NE swell from the east coast low affecting the mainland. Could of used a bit more wind, float and ride was a struggle
Anyone get out in the sydney area?
but at least you dont have to live near antarctica
tassies advantage is being a small island - you can usually find a good break most weeks if you dont mind being mobile. Plus westerly systems often set in for a week or more, mostly from autumn thru to spring
Such an epic location.. beautiful. must get back at some point.. got family there.
Dave .... sailed Long Reef the day before the big swell ..... ok in W / WSW / SW .... but on the big day the wind blew SSW .... which is terrible for everywhere on the North Side of Syd .... then finally went S today ..... but only at 12 - 14knots .... not enough for the still solid swell.
.... problem here is nearly every beach faces the same direction ..... can't just go round the corner to get a better direction like in Tassie.
Matt .... summer time tassie sailor
thats frustrating Matt.. nothing worse than a good swell with the wrong wind. Glad you guys got the early session though
