Seabreeze seems to have kicked in today at Robe at 25knots - more like we'd usually expect than what we have been getting this season and swell may have held up.

Almost rolled the dice this morning but looks like I have finally missed out

Interested to get a report from anyone who made the trip.

Sellicks was reading 25-30knts but on the water it was 17 knt gusts - the readings don't always truly reflect what's happening on the water

I was out at Beachport on a 5.0 Ka Koncept and a 62 litre missile speed board, no worries powered up the whole time, forcast was for 18 to 23 was easily this and very constant.
the swell looked ok but dropping all week.
was going to sail the bay here but there has been reports of a pointer hanging around the jetty the last week....but no one told me friday arvo when I was out.
