Looks like a big southerly on Sunday, Southern beaches (i.e clifton etc) could be good. ( lets at least get one good sail there this year!!).
Keep an eye on it.

Sorry Dave I meant I was checking the lagoon today at 2 in the Northerly. Lagoons no good for 1 hour as the runs are only about 600m.

The calm before the storm!!
Forecast for the south east is ....'Southwesterly 10 to 20 knots tending south to
southeasterly 10 to 15 knots during the morning then increasing to up to 30
knots around midday'

Lets hope it comes in, either way should get a sail in afternoon. Be it pond or Clifton.

Clifton about 18 to 20 knots, south, very consistent breeze looks to be building. Waves about 1ft a few little ramps down the beach. I'm tempted to go now!

Just got home - Pitwater was looking alright.
Maybe get daves 1hr

I was maybe thinking of launching on the old road bit, where all the fisher folk park on the first causeway

this doesn't mean I'm doing it - just floating the idea and see if anyone shoots it
