This next calendar day was originally scheduled for Sunday 17th October, but I am double booked that day and am keen to delay it till the following Sunday 24th October.
Is this cool with everyone?
It's still a couple of weeks away. The sea breezes are blowing now, so we should get a good day of racing.
Cheers, Chris D for WSA. 
I have the 24th off so let me know what the plan is..
I happy to help with buoys or flags if you need them???
just call Onboard...
cheers should be fun
Love to come alongbut will be in new York - sure could do with a sail - you been getting seabreezes or decent wind back there?
Pm me Dave - the weather is crap in New York - 45degrees and howling NE'rs from the friggin arctic - lucky were in Calfornia where its in the high 80's and sunny.
Russ u sicken me!! Your making it sound like havein a 8 week holiday touring America the worst thing in the world!! Mean while everyone is stuck here the wind is **** the weather is all over the joint! Be happy and live it up while it lasts buddy!! U ain't missing anything here!
But seriously Russ, you have to do moosh the moose. 'Who's the moosiest moose we know? Marty Moose!... (Hyuk), that's me!'
Keen for 24th though I have a wedding the night before so will be driving the dusty bus. For the best too as there is no wind tomorrow anyway.
If I were still young I would just not go to bed, have a quick hurl in the morning and go out and win the event by miles. (I was faster when I was young)
Hi Russell, have you been to San Diego yet ?. When I was in San Diego four years ago, I visited this peer:
www.google.com.au:443/maps?ll=32.748464,-117.255321&spn=0.013481,0.01929&t=h&z=16
I was walking up it one lazy Sunday arv, and a surfer surfed right under the peer !
(All: Sorry for the Off topic discussion)
Sorry to hijack this thread :-)
Forecast for Sunday is looking light. Chris. D is snowed under with work, but I'm keen to do something on the water. It's a bit hard to tell if we will get a seabreeze. I think we will need to be flexible.
Anyone have any suggestions if it's a light SE?
Anyone want to pop a sail up on a SUP and do a run from Moana to Southport, dropping in a the breaks along the way?
Might even be a Sellicks day?
Cheers, Richard U.
Could be keen, we are planing a dawnie SUP at Day St, so could double back if conditions are good, keep in touch,
Still hard to call - got a surprise session in a seabreeze at Seacliff today , and I see it blew further up the coast too. Here are a couple options:
1. Head up to Bower Rd hoping hoping for a repeat of the seabreeze, and pop in an inside buoy for some gybing practice. Use the shark as an outside gybe mark :-)
2. Head to Moana, and try for some light wind wavesailing in the 1ft swell (longboards and SUP probably).
Any takers for either option? Say a 1pm start for either?
Cheers, Richard
We can use the shark out the back as a gybe mark, but only if he has got WindsurfingSA membership.
Looking at the tide, cloud free day, temperature, prevailing wind, there will definitely be a moderate wind at Bower Rd... but I've been known to be wrong.
OK, it's 10.30 am. I think the breeze will probably be too light for organized activity today - everyman (or women) for themselves today, and good luck to you if you can get a sail in.
I'm going to try a proof of concept run from Moana to Southport on the trusty Kona. PM Dr Duck if you want to join in (no guarantees it's not a stupid idea :-) )
At 1.30pm it is looking like a great afternoon is building!
By about 4pm, I am hoping it will be a perfect 19 - 23 knt seabreeze on the northern beaches.
Good call Jay (aka Sharkbiscuit) - you can be the Official Windsurfing SA Northern Beaches Forecaster :-)
It's easy to get mesmerised by those red arrows, but the seabreeze site doesn't actually forecast seabreezes - should go back to the old method of sticking the head out the window.
I was on secondment for a special project on the request of the Windsurfing SA committee. I did a run from Moana to Southport and back. Wind was 10 knots SW, board was an Exocet Kona, sail was a 5.8 wavesail. Tide was coming in from a 0.7 m low and maybe a 1ft wave, perhaps a bit bigger on the odd set.
Got a stack of front-side rides up around U-turns, and had most of the coast to myself. I reckon this is a good option for these conditions - just need a SUP style board and a smaller sail, and at least 10 knots to give you enough mobility in the onshore conditions. It was too windy for paddling a SUP by the way. Max speed was 13.7 knots, which was recorded on a wave. Otherwise I was plodding around, poking my head into various channels etc. Managed to avoid washing up on the rocks but skimmed over a few sections that were a bit too shallow for comfort 
Whether I can convince anyone else that this trip is a good idea is another question :-) I should check it out in a light SE too, but I except there would be more surfers
Yeah, SB wind graph doesn't show seabreeze, but it's a good indicator of prevailing wind (with no seabreeze effect).. and that is going to tell you what is going to either add or substract to the seabreeze effect.
The BOM charts aren't that good either in summer.
Looked like you had a bit of fun. Certainly tracked a long way. Looks like a few K.
Carl: Had a whole heap of fisho's out the back where that shark was spotted.
