Its looking pretty wet . I was thinking maybe tomorrow would be less rain? + hopefully still wind.Just not much fun if you can't see + the wind might be up & down with the rain..Give me a pm if its ok & your keen this afternoon but I'd have to get going soon as it will take me over an hour before I'm on the water.

Sue, would "The Slips" give a similar wind strength as north side of coal point? And a bit flatter? Lots of wind showing online at Nobbys but lake at Marmong was dead flat and windless this morning. weird wind direction.

tomorrow looks at least a bit sunnier!

Glad I didn't bother going down.I've been caught out before driving all the way down when the graphs look good and then it's either nothing or up & down like a yo yo when the rain comes through.Ok if you live on the waterfront & can rig your gear and wait for the right moment but no good for a quick visit.
I'll aim for tomorrow & hope it settles down.
I like the angle at Toronto as its a bit onshore if anything goes wrong although the slip might have got a bit more wind.Nth side of Coal Pt also can have great jumping angles in a SE.
So anyone going out let me know..prob be middle of the dayish..
Tomorrows the only day I can go.Going away at the weekend.

Rotten wind..[}:)] Went out of the end of Coal yesterday pm..blowing 14 - 18kts on meter consistently..rigged to suit..5.8m + 95ltre came in with some rain at 25kts so I sat it out..tried to start the 95ltre and realised it had died to gusty 10-15kts so out with 125ltre..few puffs 15 mainly 8-10 and died to 5 at the end.. got out of my wetsuit and back in at 20kts..[}:)]Oh well I had some nice lightwind gybe practise and it was lovely to be out in that area again. It felt like summer especially as I rugged up like last time when it was 8 degrees & miles too hot!
I fell off the car trying to tie the big board on in 25kts & badly twisted my ankle..argh!..I was standing on the door 'base' and I usually hold onto the rack ( the car was slanting downhill) but I had my hands full holding the board on..after a few mins of being curled up in a ball in agony I forced myself to finish tying the board on as it was threatening to come off in the wind..Grr then 2 more boards on urgh..luckily it settled down and hasn't been too bad except for a bit of swelling.
