After flatlining for a bit there, is this the first signs of life for the winter fronts?

Ha ha no way, your dreaming way too early
well get a couple of teasers where we spend all day waiting at the beach with flukey winds and bugger all sailing.

It's not May yet .....

The fronts don't usually arrive until then - if they do even arrive that early ??

Gee I actually wanted to ask you guys what is going on with the wind. I am a new kid in town that got here in summer and things looked encouraging back then.... now it is going to be my first winter and my gear has been parked already a month, I even had to remove a spider net being developed between the board and the wall !!

Last friday was awesome ! been a few other days as well the week before. winter is all about adapting. Winds can be unpredicatble and come at any time, so you have to be prepared. Also, some light wind gear does help for those teaser days. a bigger board and a big sail will still get you out plenty in winter, if you get desperate

There is not usually much wind at this time of year. The odd morning easterly, weak coastal seabreezes sometimes, the occasional cold front. You can't plan to go sailing you just have to go when there is wind.

We have created an excellent position where the glass contains just the perfect quantity to satisfy demand, yet has spare capacity to be filled when needed or reduced to save consumption = politican

Clear fluid in a clear jar has no juxtapostion of one vs. the other, no contrast of colour, plain, boring and vapid. = interior designer

I guess I will have to keep a watchful eye on the conditions and maintain the gear in the car for the unexpected....
