Hey Hamish. Yes today at Bell Buoy was pretty good. I was over powered on a 4m at times. I'm the opposite for tomorrow- work But Felix is pretty keen to sail Bakers.
Greens looks good for both Friday and Saturday at this stage....Later

I think the North coast is the place to live if your a windsurfer, imagine if the Midlands Highway was 4 lanes, dual carriageway, us southerners would be there in an hour, safe & sound too.

yeah kazz,
good for wavesailing but
we do have it pretty good for blasting down, especially in summer.
If you live in Lauderdale you can get to the pond in 5 minutes/ wave sail at goats in 10 minutes, carlton in 25,
river in 10. front beach 20 seconds....


yeah the westerlies up north do seem to make wavesailing better.

The grass is always greener.. as Greeenie may say

Anyway, may see you guys on Friday, got to get out of this s.h.i.t hole place with no wind down south!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The waves were pretty green today also. Agree Kazza, if only The south were 1hour or so from Launie. We are sometimes a little favoured by the westerlies, but hey, if I could convince Clive Palmer with all his millions to get into windsurfing, then hey, it might be yet...another opinion pole turner!....

Have a great sail! I'm committed to the Year Five school play at 6:30. Unless someone has a helicopter to drop in to Bell Buoy I'm relegated to Doran's.
If forecast holds for Greens the Southern invasion should be good.

Since I have been charged with adjudication, I can confidently say at this point that "if the forecast holds" you can count on a damn good sail at Greens tomorrow.

If you are planning to get to Greens at about 10.00 - 11.00 you will arrive at peak tide, and conditions should continue to improve as the day wears on, and the arms wear out. The wide bank at Greens generally means great sailing ANYTIME, but mid tide is the best!

How about the southerners pitch in and we all buy a little windsurfing community shack at Bell Buoy for the 3 days in a row sailing up there.
I'll be "waterproof" probably the following weekend onwards.
