It has been quite a radical morning at Bell Bouy. Mast high waves breaking of the point and overhead on the inside, with 35-40 knots of cross shore wind and sunny. It is supposed to be like that whole week, maybe the waves could get a bit bigger over the next few days . Low tides are in the morning, but high tides could be fine on the point.

Is anyone thinking of any sailing up north this week?

I am thinking of sailing on Thursday. Nice to see the sunshine today , it sounds like it was a fun session.

I would like to say something very rude, Like you're all a bunch of c****
all we've got down here is rain and gusty ****

We're not having much luck down south you guys are on a winner you've waited long enough now you're on a good run

Had 3 Days nuclear winds and Mast high waves cross off at times here on Phillip Island boys

Jono,
looks good!.
and forwards, you cant get enough of the sensation!!!

"What sensation, you pack of no-hopers? You don't know what you are talking about. I know goats...I mean BOATS. Can't get enough of the sensation - what piffell! I am sick of all of you. I am going to go and live in a shack on the west coast... You'll be sorry when I am gone"

It's not a forward but I forgive you

I sailed East with Luka today. It was a little windy (peaking in the 37-45 range) and the waves were inconsistent. I did get a couple of nice shots of Luka.

It was definitely a great day at East beach, Bell Buoy was a bit too windy in the morning. Some photos of Al from today.

Clarky????? West coast??? Oh pleeeeze don't go it's far too dangerous for you there's gangsters and stuff and what's more you'd need a passport to get past Bell Buoy...................you had that coming

Looks like another windy one today at low head.
Bom's forecast below

155 knots!!!!!

I think I can handle that

What a difference a week makes sandcastles to slashing mast high waves both ends of state on fire this week

Just checked Low Head observations for the last 3 days the lowest wind speed was 21-29 knots thats insane.

The last 2 weeks would almost be the same Ant Man. (25-30 min)
The wind up here over the last 2 weeks was like was in the 90's before Eldarado El Nino came along
Roll on Huey!!

A few shots of an extremely gusty East beach on Sunday, with Chris Jason and Alan out.

I am glad it was gusty there too.

Hamish, Greenie and I made the drive to Bakers just to find the wind gusting from about 10 knots to 40 knots - it was madness.

It hit 50 knots according to the observations and I can assure you it was every bit that. I was in the shallows at the time, trying to hold my gear down. I had to put my helmet back on to protect me from the rain impact. A vicious change. Hamish sailed out the back most of the day, and fortunately smashed in the nose of his board (yes, fortunately) and was off the water just before the gust hit. If he was out the back he would have been history.

Rafa turned up as we were leaving too. I hope he is not still floating around the ocean somewhere...Rafa - are you alive?

Looks like another 3 days of wind up north Tues Wed and Thurs all look good

Had a nice sail at Pilots Bay today. There was very little wind when we got there but it slowly built up. One big rain squall came through that messed with conditions for a while. Pilots is a great location in the WNW. The photos are Paul B.

Anybody having a go at Bakers Beach tomorrow? I'd be interested in spectating.

Nah not enough wind for a southerner
