Jimbob whats the chances of getting a good wave sail at Robe this weekend, is it worth the drive on the current forecast?

Marty,
check out graphs -victoria - west coast - portland. pretty good indicator for this area.

Pebbles will be going off, pitty its another hour and half drive for you guys.
Not always down the line but heaps of fun.
4 good reef breaks, 80% of the time they are head+ high. Both left and right waves.

Not the best launching area and not a good spot to stuff up but well worth it.

Went yesterday and scored 25 - 30 knots with head high cross off-shore. Good day for loops or tables on the way out and it was a good airial off the lip wave on the way in - awsome! Meant to be good on Sunday - we will be there!

Welcome to the Limestone coast Matt P,
I'll be around Port Mac area this arvo / weekend.
Look for an old guy out of control on a kite, or in a white Holden ute.
Come up and introduce your self.

Be careful if you introduce yourself to HAAK- his response is usually a tongue brain deep in the left ear with a clockwise twist......painfully disturbing and strangely erotic.
