Nice work mate, glad someone got out there today... I got dudded by work
Who's up for tomorrow ?
I'll be there tomorrow. I and one other sailed it yesterday, it was good, looked similar to your photos but bigger - we did plenty of chicken gybes!
Birubi went off again today. Smaller waves but better wind. Heaps of fun. 4.7m powered up... bring back the Mid Winter Bash...
Certainly looks like a swell magnet that place! Down here in the gong it would have been pushing 10cm max here today, maybe 15cm yesterday...aka TINY. Didn't even bother given how up and down the wind was.
It's actually no good in NE to NW, it's all too offshore.
Best is WNW which is our typical "westerly" which is a few degrees offshore from crossshore, and ENE which is the direction of the "NE" seabreeze in the Hunter, roughly 20 degrees offshore from crossshore. Any extra E in the ENE is more crossshore and also good. As far as I know it's not often sailed on that tack.
best spot in newcastle for wave riding in ne i know it well been sailing it for 20 years
whats birubi like in an easterly, it'd have to be side shore wouldn't it? could be good for thurs an fri!
