I think swell will be too west. SANDPITS may be better option

Carlton or Sandpits I don't care so long as we get wind and waves...see what the swell is doing in the morning

Saturday 12 MayGale warning for Saturday for South East Coast
Winds Westerly 30 to 40 knots turning southwesterly 30 to 35 knots in the morning.
Seas 4 to 5 metres.
Swell Westerly 5 to 7 metres tending southwesterly 5 to 6 metres from the late morning.

Anthony the swell will be too big, i am going to check out cremorne front beach, if south enough could be once in 10 year sail.
i will go have a look soon.

Around 12.30 for me, probably either Cremorne Bar or Bambra street, right hander o the northern side of the reef. Bambra will be better with a higher tide.
