Maybe victor harbour Saturday? Any advice? Haven't sailed there in 20 years.

Wotha! Check out the low forming up in the Bight Sun nite! Very unusual.
sat - you'll have a fun sail at Kent's reserve (try launching at White Pole on high tide) but 3' swell might be struggling to make it in there!
If the forecast holds, Goolwa looks good for starboard tack waves in 2' 23knot E'ly Sunday - I can do an early session but have to be back in town at midday.

Fairly sure east wind in SA is port tack old mate
Hope you get wet folks
Yep port tack, unless you know of some secret spots on the north side of K I that work on a north swell?

Weirdst weather pattern ive ever seen in summer.
There is another option near Cape Jervis but ive never sailed or surfed it and dont know weather it would work on wind swell or weather it needs a massive groundswell.

I would have thought this pattern is quite normal Bondy. Cyclones up north always seem to shake up our weather here, starting with heat waves and then rain periods.

You are correct in that Jay, but not a low depression being pushed off the land down below us. Have a look at the charts.

East wind at Goolwa is right hand forward and Starboard tack:
Here is the flat water right of way rule for those interested:
Hope you get some Pebbles action - but be careful if you're sailing alone!
Goes by what tack on the way out.. so goolwa is port tack.
I reckon ill head down to day st or goolwa if its se or east for some jumping.
So why is hookipa a starboard tack wave and diamond head a port tack wave? Because in wave sailing James it's the way you ride the wave and not the way you head out.
I always refer to the saying "no port left" port being the left hand side of a boat when facing the bow.
Pilly is right. Isn't it if wind is over your left shoulder while you on the wave its starboard tack?
Hookipa is a starboard tack wave, except when wind goes 'kona' then it's port tack and the euros go nuts on it!!!!

Hookipa looking out to sea the wind coming from your right= starboard on way out... riding wave on port. ??
Wavesailing tack = Port or Starboard according to the tack we are jumping on the way out. That would be why Hookipa is a starboard tack and then port with the Kona winds.
No you've got it all wrong for waveriding:
A ese'r at goolwa is waveriding on "gumby tack"
A nnw'r is waveriding on the "not-quite-so-gumby tack"
Goofy foot surfers may wish to reverse the order
The reverse may apply to jumping
