I am seeing conflicting forecasts for Burrum Heads over the next 2 to 4 days. Coastwatch is saying anything from 15 to 25knts SE and willy whether is 10 to 15.

Can somebody tell me what you have been getting and if you expect the 15 to 25knt SE.

Its the first day of my brake tomorrow and i'm hanging for a sail.

Tides not suitable for Burrum until later in the week.

Hi Andy, I made the drive yesterday arriving at 9am, rigged and into it but the breeze got very patchy. Curt and i got out of the water as the bank disappeared and you guessed it the breeze filled in. If it is looking good later in the week i will do it all again.. Might see you there.

Better off driving back to Lake Weyba, at this time of the year the southerlys don't seem to make it inshore to burrum, theres a lot of land they have to go across to get there from the open ocean! & the tides are wrong as Andy said.

That'd be right. I'm away all next week. It will blow for sure.
