Won't be till 4pm Friday for me when the tide is too high and the wind is gone - depending on which forecast you look at. - the latest map has 18 knts at 3pm at Noarlunga, BOM gulf forecast - increasing 18-23 in the arvo - maybe Seaford reef on a Nthlie with the high tide. But I doubt it. Maybe a 5.4 sail on the SUP Saturday moring

The weekend forecast seems to vary from site to site - wait and see I reckon.


Good luck for friday Gunna.

Your really getting into this SUP thing arn't ya Russ.

I'll be interested to hear how it goes with a sail on it. Richard Upton certainly was having fun on the kona over easter so it will be good to hear how manouvarable your new board is.

have a blast mate, I'm on a houseboat all weekend so you won't see us on the mid.

Hey Marty - its a n new challenge, it involves waves, I live a couple of minutes from some great little waves that are all reef breaks, I can do it when I can't sail and don't have to lay in the cold winter water waiting for waves and can paddle up and down the peaks at my leisure- gotta luv that!
I can see why the crew enjoy it so much - those first couple of waves really suck you in.

Very clever russ, did you here the Australian disease control association have formulated a new 'oink-ment' to stop the spread of swine flew.

shame the forecast is starting to turn to crap.

Apparently that new oink-ment only helps with the rashers.

Very annoyed I missed Sunday - looked pretty nice at 830 and again at 1030 on the way home from juniors footy match and I was a bit grumpy driving away from the coast on the way out to lunch!!

Looks like were on again next weekend and there is supposed to be 2@1/2 foot of swell again. Incoming Tide all morning

Gotta love winter

Could be interesting getting a park at U's or 3 poles - swell wind and the kiters are most likely to be calling the state wave titles at the mid this weekend from 0800 sat or sunday.

It sounds like the mid is going to be a busy place on the weekend.
