Friday looks promising for Greens and Saturday for Bell Buoy...........am I far off the mark??

Yeah and easterlies at goats

Thats my 6 day forecast

i will go to Bell bouy if you are right though

I'm itching for more. I'd like to share transport.

Not far off the mark at this stage. I'd be suggesting almost 3 days of wind. Fri, sat and sun. Only question would be greens or bell on friday. Depends on if the pattern moves through quicker.

I've got to work. Might make it on Sunday. I'll hold my breath.

Yes, yes, yes!

At this point it looks like:

Greens Friday (haven't had a good Greens sail in AGES)
Bellbuoy Saturday
Bellbuoy Sunday

Although I am thinking that the entire Met must be on long service leave this year, so don't expect too much.

Just be prepared, which means -

Start sacrificing those virgins, don't buy any new gear, forget to do that repair you have been meaning to get around to, wash everything out, dry it and put it away, organise a nice lunch with the family, drink too much the night before, tell your partner that you are saving that day for her (or him), organise the tradies to come around and fix your leaky roof...

Have I forgotten anything?

Geoff, ive saved the day for you big fella

Leave the 4 meter at home thinking its not looking that windy (will blow 50 knots for sure)

G4K - I am not sure that this is THAT kind of forum.........I could be wrong though

Flouro - good point - a GLARING omission - stupid of me really

Forecast is still wobbling around - off to stick a screwdriver through my board, and put a saw through the fins.

If anyone has 'form' you could probably get yourself thrown in a cell for the weekend...I'm just saying...

Geoff if you are dismantling your boards you mustn't need your van anymore! Coincidentally I'm in the market for a new van :p

Count me in for Saturday and / or Sunday

Sunday looks ok for Bakers

I can't get up there till Sunday so I'm hoping it's still working

Will keep you posted you crazy Pacific Ocean survival egg farmer
Sunday looks like strong westerlies.
So will let you know where some of us hard core will be!!

Loving the idea of a Bakers day on sunday. 30-40knt west. Hope it holds.

Clearly Pearso you would be better off buying an aeroplane than getting a van with the amount of jet-setting that you do.

If you are looking for a lift to the coast, just yell. If I am looking for a lift to the northern hemisphere, I will do likewise.

Deal?

Karma will get you Fos

Might take you up on that offer Ant.

I think I have done my part ... I sacrificed my hair ... forecast seems to be accepting my sacrifice favourably

It looks at the moment :
Friday - maybe Greens in the afternoon, but looks bit light and too northerly
Saturday - Bell Bouy
Sunday - Bakers
next week - wind all week, Bell Bouy or Greens...

Sounds Reasonable!

You should probably drive something with a lower centre of gravity....its less likely to fall over....:-/

Ant Man the movie was a disappointment thought the plot would be about a chook farmer who swims with and wrestles white sharks in the southern ocean,tiger sharks in the Indian Ocean then jumps a swimming pool full of them in a VW van

Fluro you talk riddles........ can anyone decipher what this dude is trying to say......... when you do let me know.
Are you coming up Sunday?

Here are some pictures from today at Greens Beach ...
It might look like it was a nice and sunny day, but in fact it was hailing just 10 minutes before pictures were taken ...
Nice preparation for the weekend with 20-25 knots of wind and a bit smallish waves ...
