Is there any chance of good wind down at Sandy this arvo? I'm waiting it out at Inverloch, but might take a trip down.

I was thinkiing of inverloch today so your saying there is no wind great. maybe the pit could be better. check out the prom live wind reading on the bom if it's 25 knots head up there dude. G this cup day weeekend has been a very windless one. think it was better last year

think i might head to green point and try and catch that 25 knot northwester that is forecasts for late in the afternoon today.
