Today was the 4th 20 knot seabreeze in a row for us here in nsw. Todays came up a bit late, but was still good for an hour before dark. I hope it's a sign of a awesome season

Don't worry Ewan, we may not have solid seabreezes yet (one is supposed to happen Thursday but it won't be kiteable), but it's looking to be pretty epic here from Friday on...

Rellieman, don't link the live graph, it makes no sense now full of red arrows.

I fix your original with a screen grab I took last night.

I had a sweet sunset session at Scarbs yesterday, there's still a few nice little waves hanging around.

I think your “taking the arvo off” is as rusty as your kiting

Was a very nice SWer 1-2:30 while I was there alone.

Most had come in because they were underpowered, one guy had to swim in and was lucky he wasn't to far offshore.

I was starting to struggle on the 9 so had grabbed my 12, connected the pump but had not given it one pump when my mates kite, which was on the beach, flipped over when an offshore gust hit it from behind, I knew then that it was over for the arvo.

Classic early season wind shutdown
Not a good time to be too far offshore
I was too tired from last two days of kiting and surfing to contemplate it. Oh and had to catch up on wOrk
