Where would be the best spot around Launnie to sail with the current pattern?

Kelso would be the pick I think. Not a great direction up here.... When its a bit stronger it works at Deviot.
Me and a few others will be at kelso later today....

Didn't get the time to go for a sail yesterday. How was it for those who went?

Just by chance I was out at Low Head yesterday (time off due to the horsey race and other random factors). I arrived out there a bit after 4 and it was blowing 20 Knots NNE. After a bit of messing around I ended up at Bell Buoy where there was a very messy one foot chop/swell. I sailed with a 5.7 on my 74.

This seems to be the most difficult time of year to forecast the wind. On Sunday I swam at Low Head in mirror calm conditions while a few km away at Rosevears conditions were sailable. Yesterday it was SSE in the morning turning light NE at lunchtime and only reached 20 kts at 4pm.

The westerlies are so much more predictable.

Definitely seems to be better wind of an afternoon in Launceston over Low Head... this last month anyway

When do the westerlies usually start blowing

First Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of March

I have been sailing this area for just over 12 months or so. This is the most Easterly wind I have ever seen!

I never went to Kelso either.... Wind did come in though I think

What's the go with waves for East beach and Bell Buoy? Is the 1.5m swell for sun/mon/tue enough to get some waves coming through?
