hi
Looks like there might be a bit of wind next week. Where should I go to get a bit of wave action around Perth?
Cheers
H.C.
crazy waves. launch at south beach, then ride down to the sandbar 800m south of the rock groyn. great bump and jump but no DTL unfortunately.
Well 10yrs ago when they were much bigger..... before the rich people development just south of there 
Well the development was supposed to change the movement of the sand on the sea floor and make the sandbank deeper (less likely to break)
Fair enough I don't sail it as much now, but people tell me it is lucky to be head hi in most winter storms. I remember that was about minimum, with a few logo hi days each winter.
Certainly in the last 2 winters I reckon it has been much smaller than before.
The waves are crap, gearie's may be a tad better.
But in side the reef at Avalon can be a blast.
It's only the first front of the season. I doubt there will be a bank at Crazies yet.
I think Mark is right about the size of the "waves" there, or maybe I was more of a gumby then and they seemed bigger (I'm not much less of a gumby now admittedly)
Crazies shorey always used to claim kit [}:)]
Ha ha to my surprise I got nailed a couple of times by the shorebreak at crazies today 
so where are we going tomorrow morning ppls???
It looking very west.
so dutchies is out, crazies is an option. Too west for geeries.
so any other good north facing beaches worth while checking out or do i just have to do the drive from warnbro to freo real early??
I'm keen to give this crazies a go - particularly now the wind has calmed a tad.
I take it that you launch from the south side of the groyne at the south end of south beach? And that its tough to get outside the break if its too westerly?
yeah thats the go downwind. question is what time???
and should i be going for more speed runs???
Probably the earlier the better... I'm looking to clear some work from my desk and then get down there about 11am. Might see you there?
Well, it was gusting 35 knots and more down at crazies today.
Interesting to say the least. I think I enjoyed 'stretching out' on the flat sections (makes V8 sound) in between the 2-3 foot 'waves/chop' better than the crazy chop itself - mostly due to being a tad overpowered on my 5m (smallest sail) which made some of the jumps a bit hairy.
Hmmm, maybe speed sailing is the go in these conditions! Now where was that flatwater?
