Looks like Saturday could be on at Park with a strong SW and they say the points might be working so there will be a decent swell
I was just trolling around the internet as I do and look what I found.
Wave sailing is commonly held to be the pinnacle of windsurfing

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsurfing
If it is south west and swell too big then Seven mile maybe?. Seven mile likes south/south west more though. Maybe Bamba reef?/ or Blue lagoon accross to the end of Seven Mile again.
Hopefully Somewhere
I'm keen, should be heading south tomorrow arvo. I'll see who else I can raz up.
Would be keen to go Sat morning
Looks like we need to get down there early the wind is strongest around 11am

Can we get Dave M and Steve out to do some wave sailing?
I've only seen it on video from the 80s
I need to be back in town by 1215 so I am up for an early morning bash. 7 mile for a look first then go from there? I'll be aiming for around 9am.
Looks like the forecast will be best in the morning I'll be down there about 10am,
If the wind is a bit sus I'll go back to Sandpits and hope the swell is not closing out
Not looking overly good at present with bugger all wind at the airport. Whoever was heading to Bruny is going to have a good start to the morning. current data 20 - 30knts SW!! Hopefully this moves up
wind looks to have been averaging around 20 knots on Norfolk Bay since I managed to tweak my eyes open with gusty rain squalls above that.
will probably head to Carlton/Park.
Last day area 7 mile has a small swell and gusty winds.
Keeps dropping to no wind then 15 - 20. Small swell to about 5 ft
Finally got a sail, determined to get in the waves but today it was not meant to be. Found Fos riiged up and ready to hit Sandpits with a 5-15k SW and big sets close to half mast and nasty....he all guts and no brains
We talked him into sensibility and he followed us smart blokes down to Park just as the wind dropped off....ha ha
Rob and I went down to Conolies Marsh rigged big, wind slowly picked up to 25-30knots....overpowered but good to sail somewhere different
I think between all the wave seekers we used a tanker full of petrol
thats a shame I was hopeing you boys would have a wave bash for sure.
Dorans was fun
Cheers Russ
Yeah Russ, just checked GPSTC and looks like a good crowd at Doran's today.
I opted for (
) domestic duties today, have tomorrow arvo "off" if the wind holds.
I spent from 9 till 2 looking for a sail and finally gave up.
Last I heard from Ant he was looking for a spot to get into the marsh and crashed into a tree.
Oh well no more wind till thursday
Should have come to Dorans for some bump and jump, 5 minutes from your house
Plenty of wind on Bruny Sat.
Cloudy Bay 25-35knts, swell not massive,blown flat by the wind.
Bloody cold, raining on & off all day.
Funny I thought you vanished from my phone call a little quick too. I don't remember Connellys Marsh having that many roads for you to get lost on. hope it was worth it, sailing there brings back a lot of fond memories.
I didn't end up having a sail, looked at Dorans and didn't see anyone out, must have been a lull in the weather.
