Kids are getting itchy, did not windsurf for 3 days.
Might stretch it from Burrum Heads to Yamba . Big gear is ready for them too.

5-10 kts between sunny coast and Newcastle, looks like you'll have to fly to Sydney before you see 15-20 kts.
BOM forecasts are a computer models prediction, not a FACT.

not sure if you noticed the use of the word FORECAST in the title of the thread and half the posts.



for the record the bom marine forecast is a human forecast. and again the word forecast is being used.

when i was a kid I'd use my towel on my skateboard when it was real windy. put one end under my front foot and hold the other end. like a spinaker.

not long after that i bought a 1980's landboard that i still have. needs some new tyres to be road worthy.
