Still the same as yesterday. Ocean is flat flat flat.

I ended up going down to Shoalhaven Heads for a quick sail yesterday afternoon. Marginal 15 knts. but at least there was a bit of that bumpy stuff around even if it was just onshore slop. The brewing storms blocked the Seabreeze too much.

I'm guessing today will be a repeat of yesterday. 15 knts and a possible storm. Although it doesn't look like much storm activity at the moment.

Looking to the next few days it looks like Saturday/ Sunday could bring a bit of wave action as long as the storms don't shut things down pre-maturely.

Rather then showing a repeat photo of what I posted yesterday here pic of the storm late afternoon:

Great photo Stehsegler.

Just need some biblical figure with stone tablets added to it!

Cheers

Ah... way back Windsurfers used to be called "Stehsegler" in German. These days they call them "Surfers"... while "Surfing" is "Wellenreiter" (aka wave rider). Anyway, I always like the retro version and used back in German forums... then started using it here. Gives me a kick every time when someone try to pronounce it properly.

Your reply triggered a flashback to a windsurfing website I remember looking at quite a few years ago which incorporates your forum name. It was

www.stehsegelrevue.com/

which still exists today. It had a good technique article on backloops by Craig Gertenbach.

Cheers.

yeah... the site is run by a guy in Munich. The name stehsegelrevue.com is a play on words. There is a soft porn mag in Germany called Revue. So Stehsegelrevue meaning soft porn for Windsurfers.
