anyone else just a bit excited about the end of this week??? may be the first of many winter fronts!!! ![]()
Let's just hope there's some swell down south sat morn for the wnw'r
A bit o b&j action at the mid Friday and 29c Back to boardies ?
pity about the swell forecast
Watch it fade to nothing on the BOM forecast by Thursday night
BLOODY PESSIMISTS!!!
Hoping for a Friday session down the mid and maybe a morning down Day street on Saturday.
im sure ill see a few familiar faces down the mid on Friday.
COME ON HUEY MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN.
I'm going to Livingstons Bay, the swell down here is going to 7 to 9 metres Sat night with good westerlys both days it will be too big out the back reefs but the ribbon weed areas inside will have some sweet jumps and rides.
had another nice 12 to 18 SE with some great jumps this arvo thats 2 in a row.
as long as you pack the wave gear, surfboard and golf clubs your bound to get something right.
wait and see what the old lady can throw our way...
where is livingstons bay. Scotty Mac and myself are thinking maybe Beachport. Swell and wind look better than Middleton
Wats good at Beachport??? I would be keen to car pool or something. Finish work at 5 am sat. As long as someone else could drive so I can snooze!!! ![]()
Fyi, I had my first sail from the spit on the lake at Beachport last friday - very marginal and non-planing for a bit until a bit of wind came through & got about 40mins of solid breeze. I'm not sure what the norm is, but it looks like the water level is a bit low? Had a 100m walk to get past the weed & onto sailing ground (big sail & fin).
It's a shame the wind didn't come through over the weekend and the surf was ordinary, otherwise we would've had a crack at the outer reef!![]()
Anyone keen on Waitpinga on sat if wnw - bit more swell maybe a better option than dribs or goolwaaa - and there's safety in numbers ![]()
Hey Russh there is a round of the state surfing titles in victor area on the weekend they may be taking up some room at waits.
Sunday might be the day - swellnet 2-3foot with fresh to strong wnw goin sw
Saturday 9th April
Inconsistent W'ly swell around an infrequent 1-2ft at Middleton and 2ft+ at Goolwa and Waits. Expect long waits between sets. Moderate NW winds, tending gusty W/NW during the a'noon.
Sunday 10th April
Tricky outlook due to model divergence. Most likely mix of close-range swells around 2-3ft at Middleton and 3-4ft at Goolwa and Waits. Fresh to strong W/NW winds, tending W/SW during the day.
Imagine a whole weekend of wave sailing!!!!!
It's 3 am. I can feel a fairly stiff northley coming down the coast!!! Pretty excited just hope there is a ripple wave!!!
Tied up with other stuff most of the weekend - but my pick is Kent Reserve Sun Arvo - S'lies, High tide at 5 pm, 5 foot means there should be plenty of cross on wave riding and jumps over the reefs!![]()
Fun little offshore bareaways at day street this arvo - 0-20 knts - float and ride - really hard to catch waves - Harry managed a wave on each tack and ended up near the point
- awesome to get back onto the proper wave sailing tack!!!! Fingers crossed for the early one at day st - the swells on the up - the sets were slowly gettin bigger this arvo
hey jimbob i'll be going down to pinchcut at port mac breakwater on sunday morning if your keen, might be even a bit on the strong side, im back on the water HAAK is 30k too strong for your parrachute?![]()
had a pretty good time for the quick 45 mins of shoulder high cross off action! lucky i got there when i did! cant believe how quick it went SW!
Hey Pilly,
Pinchgut should be ok with the swell thats expected tomorrow.
I'll be there, let me know what time?
Went to the Nene this arvo, to big for me. Ended up at Posties with side shore / head high until the wind dropped out.
Funny you mentioned a parachute, Looking at getting into paragliding![]()
Hey Pilly, have a speed sailing teammate staying at my van at Beachport so will be back there tommorrow on the speed gear.
bloody awesome weekend!!! had a ball at middleton sunday then had TWO great sessions at u turns today, good waves to be had all weeked and got the blisters to prove it!!
