...anyone has an explanation why Lancelin has so much less wind..?
The chart: Geraldton - OK, Perth - marginal, Lancelin - nothing...
I would expect Lancelin to have more wind then Perth....
Wind gods - like winds, and everything else - change. 7-8 years ago Werner was renting kites....(no, no joke, real....we hired a small Wipika for the kids)
....but I am still wondering about the wind in Lano....someone knowledgeable can comment...?
Lano seems to blow at least a couple of knots stronger than Perth Metro
I've been up there when its been really blowing yet nothing in Perth!!!
Weather model seems to be a bit out of Whack for Lano
whoo hooo wind is back in perth
weta i'll call ya later to see what you are up to this weekend
I kite up at Wedge a lot.
It's only a few ks north of Lanno so that's the forcast I check. I've noticed the Wedge seabreeze is always a fair bit stronger than the Lancelin forcast. It could be a slight difference in the wind at Wedge and Lancelin, but I doubt the wind would be so consistently weaker in Lancelin.
Does anyone know how the Seabreeze forcast for Lancelin is generated exactly? Is it calibrated against the actual recorded wind speed up there?
Cheers
Why bother with Lancelin?! I had the feeling kiters (and tourists in general) are not welcome there.
Kiting conditions are below average for WA.
And then there is this bloke Werner...haha
He nearly drove onto my board which I just pulled out of my hire car (he stopped 20cm away from it at the parking bay in front of "his" grassy area). Friendly as I am I said "how's it going mate". haha! You should have seen his face and look at me!
Well next time I'm there I wont visit Lancelin- that's for sure...
Cheers

Why does everyone worry about old werner?sounds like he needs a good superman punch.LOL.
Andrash is right, the wind in Lancelin sucks. Don't waste your time there, rather go down south, much better wind 
I'm going to Lano this weekend, all you guys make it sound like the place to be,cant wait to meet Werner, he sounds awesome.
It all has to do with the gradient breeze. NE in the morning means lighter breeze have a look at the iso bars and look at the directection and where they are crossing the coast.
Normally the south is better at the beginning of the season and north at end as it is hotter north to get a good thermal. Sea temp makes a big difference as well, check out the warm currents as they stop the strength of the thermal.
The other thing to consider is headlands when you are on the lee side the wind is lighter! well maybe the wind on the windward side accelerates do to the headland.
