might be sunny, warmish, prevailing NW aided by a mild seabreeze, small waves for all types of gear?

I think so.

I haven't been for a while but last time I went to kirra there was a very large channel running up to north kirra. of course tide dependant. low tide better.

i was having a look at google and this image came up from june and you can kinda see the channel

attached are some photos from Saturday.

was a good day. there were whales playing out to sea. i saw one completely airborne before turning and landing on it's back. i grabbed these photos before heading out myself. i once again took part in the kirra marathon.

ie. launch, sail down to kirra proper, end up on the beach with a bad angle unable to sail back and do the, all to familiar, walk of shame. still, as was pointed out to me i had a pretty big smile on my face. looking further onto the bright side i did get a good run down to kirra in emerald green water.

am having a lot of trouble getting these online for some reason. facebook is having dodgey upload issues, seabreeze wrecks images so i'll not bother. will try to get them onto photobucket.

looking fwd to see the photos I never saw the whales myself.

Although on Sunday at the Mudgeeraba show I got side swiped by this women trying very persistently to sell me whale watching tickets I eventually told her that I see them all the time from my Yacht sailing off Kirra . Yacht / windsurfer its all just perspective.
