Anybody get out??
The graphs are saying NNE but some decent gusts coming through. Mate reckons its 15 knots on the northern beaches area??
Kurnell and the airport look green??
Good onya if you made it out.
First for the season or last of the season???
not a real seabreeze (if it was the northern beaches would only have 5 knots), frontal winds i thinks.... wind is wind though.
no surf today unfortunately.
Had a look at Wanda, dead flat and quite offshore and light.
Couple of kites on the bay, probably 12-15 knots at best
Went out on Lake Macquarie.More NNE started out glassy with 18kt gusts as I rigged then 5 kts and occasional 12kt puffs with sloppy chop when I was out..
Ugh..Still it was warm for once and I didn't fall in..I also figured out the reason why I sometimes stop turning half way through a gybe in those conditions..downwind foot too near the centreline.. At least it was calm enough to check..
Norah head was saying 20kt+ most of the day!
?
Robbed up here. Headed to Trail Bay at 1pm, it was n-e and max 4 knots. Waited for it to build (was spose to crank in at 20 knts just after lunch), got bored, went home. Wind finally came in (14-18 knts) at 4 pm- then had to go to work....grrrrr
Solid n-e now (10.30 pm), so hoping it will hang around and give me a shot in the morning. Time will tell...
the next couple of month should be pretty windy... got told by my neurologist yesterday no windsurfing until September.
stehsegler, I must say it has been cr.p wind for a while in Sydney. I had an eye operation and was out of action for 2 weeks but alas no wind anyway.
didn't you get your full in Maui recently?
better on the end of the point bill clearer wind but you have to know where to launch
Best place to launch is Arcadia Vale park. NE is straight onshore, nice grassy park with toilets and plenty of parking. Sandy bottom launch. I generally rig and sail from their over summer, along with a bunch of other guys. I then generally sail up the lake a little depending on the wind strength. Wangi Point is good, however be prepared to cut your feet on the rocks.
I wouldn't mind heading up to some spots around Lake Mac this summer. However I'm a bit worried about the reports of sharks there plus the razor fish.
Been sailing on the lake over the last 3 & 1/2 years and never seen a shark or stepped on a razor fish.
Mind you i was hoping he didn't come back past..
