It's pretty typical isn't it. My wife has a bunch of girlfriends coming up from Melbourne this weekend, and subsequently I have leave pass to do whatever and go where ever I want this weekend. For the last couple of weeks I have been forumulating plans on where I will go in my van with my toys this weekend.
Looking at the forecast, it seems that Huey just doesn't want to play....
I share your pain, this weekend weather is giving me the sh...![]()
But work permitting Friday pm is definitely in the diary!
You have pretty much summed it up!
I'd be happy with even 10 knots NE so that I can take my SUP with a large wave sail, but even that's looking suss....
I tried to get out in light wind at Wanda the other weekend, but it was ENE and too onshore ![]()
If there is more East in a Nor Easter are there any spots that work better than others?
laff, since you seem to be into SUP then ENE wind can be awesome at Long Reef at Butterbox (south side of the Long Reef point) with a bit of south swell. Needs to be the right angle but anything over 0.5 metre will break.
I have had some top sails out there in ENE wind although it tends to be on those days when the weather is really average with rain stinging your face!
So it's all your fault Des ![]()
Cool, so sounds like we might have a bit of a posse. I'm definately going out no matter what. BOM forecast for Sat reads:
Winds: Northeasterly 5 to 10 knots tending east to southeasterly during the afternoon then tending south to southeasterly during the evening. Seas: Below 0.5 metres.
So I guess a spot that will work with East in either, with a bit of North or South thrown in. Maybe somewhere up the Northern Beaches is the go. I've never sailed up that side of Sydney, so I would be keen on that.
Looks like Sunday afternoon could be the go for light wind wave SUP session - 15 knots...maybe even get the smaller gear out depending on the surf.
