is sellicks on right now?

nothing. barley plainable. devostating stuff.

you serious. looked like it was going nuts!

It cranked at the northern beaches (black pole 25 average, 28 peak). I went to Largs bay. Only managed 10 runs, but most of them were blistering (by my standards anyway ).

Hi Sharkbiscuit,


How strong, how flat and what direction at largs? My boss was telling me he went past largs and saw alot of kitesurfers out.

Hi Carl. I wouldn't get too excited . Wind was cross shore. The chop was 0.5 metre at the shore line and an easy 1 metre out the back.. but Largs does have the flattest water in a SB. If you time the tide right, it will crank and the water is still pretty flat (that goes for Semaphore as well, which has an extra few knots).

Hi all,

I got a great sail down at Largs last night, 4.7m and 80L. The beauty about largs is that it's sailable in a SW-SE. I sailed between 5 and 6:30 without dropping off the plane at all.

lets hope for more wind tonight.

Right on. I know a lot of people don't like sailing up north because of the lumpy chop, but it is so consistent. I never take my big gear as you never need it!

I too sailed last night from 4:45-6 - at Moana, never dropped off the plane once (cause I only almost planed once) caught half a dozen waves in the shore break and had a great time!

Give me the lovely blue southern waters of the gulf any day - that brown mucky choppy knee crunching northern beaches.

Gusty or not when its on with some swell there is nothing better around this town - I suppose its what you make of it - I would prefer steady cross off but the nature of offshore winds are gusty. I would rather have the chance of a few waves in gusty wind than B&J in cross on - its fine when you're getting desperate for a sail but I find it gets a tad boring like sailing on the lake - with that said if I lived nearby or we got the same seabreeze down here I would sail it every day I could. IMHO

I worked until 8:30 last night (in a 9 to 5 job) .... would have happily sailed messy brown chop !!

Guess where there's wind tonight
