Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?

Hopefully we get some a strong Easterly on Saturday.

Myself:
Saturday I'm heading down to Sandy Point to help out at the Wave Comp and have sail.
Sunday might have to be catch-up with some home duties, but I try and get a sail later in the afternoon if the seas breezes kick in. Maybe at Elwood if time permits or my local Bonno.
With regards to the informal clinics on the bay, keep an eye on this post and future 'Where are you Windsurfing this Weekend' posts.
The Wave Comp at Sandy Point will try a wave style of clinic.

Refer to the extract from BOM forecast below for Port Philip Bay.

Local Waters Forecast for Port Phillip
Issued at 5:10 am EDT on Friday 4 March 2011

Forecast for Saturday
Winds: East to southeasterly 10 to 15 knots becoming easterly 15 to 20 knots later in the evening. Seas: 0.5 to 1 metre.

Forecast for Sunday
Winds: Easterly 10 to 15 knots in the north increasing to 20 knots in the south at first. Winds tending north to northeasterly 10 to 15 knots during the morning. Local afternoon seabreezes of 10 to 15 knots. Seas: 0.5 to 1 metre.


Please note; this is not a WV event and this post is to be used as information only. The intent of this post is for windsurfers to post where they could be going to windsurf this weekend and for other windsurfers to possible come and join them.

Mentone or Ricketts would be a good option for the bay.

Might just head down to Sandy tomorrow, but things are looking a tad light. The lawn will have to wait until Sunday.

guys for those of you thinking about sandy point i would be prepared to put money on it being a minimum of 20 knots by lunch time. the swell will be good so it will be great for everyone who wants to have a crack in the waves.
