Easterly 20 to 25 knots increasing to 20 to 30 knots in the late evening then decreasing to 20 to 25 knots in the late evening.
We are going to have two late evenings on Saturday
The second one will be less windy than the first

Despite the double late evenings looks like a much better forecast than the bay. I'm hoping we get some wind for the Stern Chaser at Elwood. Looks like it'll be windier earlier, but don't know what sea breeze effect their might possibly be.
Gone are the days where there was a BoM fella with local knowledge and Experience and now totally relying on the computer generated forecast.
If they use the computer generated forecast I think they dont have enough observation points to do it accurately. This is clearly seen on the bottom of the forecast weather stating
"Wind gusts can be 40 percent stronger than the averages given here, and maximum waves may be up to twice the height. Wind warnings are issued for today and tomorrow and describe the highest category of wind warning for that day."
BoM = BS a guide at best!
I seem to recall that the advisory at the bottom of the forecasts became more prominent after the 1998 Sydney to Hobart.
As to the computer generated forecasts - well, pretty hard to fault a supercomputer IMHO
