..... La Nina again? (the b!tch )


Troughs down the west coast and three days of thunderstorms and rain. Flashbacks of last season.

Somebody please tell me I'm wrong

It seems like last season but I'm told the southern oscillation index is a lot different and the la nina should not be as strong.

Offshore all day here today Mark. Went for a SUP and had my boardies and rashie drying on the line and only just heard the rain then. Don't want wet clothes for the dawn patrol in the morning
I took 2 weeks off from work to head north for windsurfing. Nope it didn't happen. I've got out on the SUP more when this time of year I should be windsurfing. But either way I'm not complaining

Careful - I got redthumbs for complaining it was sh!t and you got a red thumb for saying you had lots of sailing.

This "votes for retards" system is soooo insightful isn't it

These last couple of weeks are looking a lot like last year.
I got 7 sessions in for October too, but the last few were very unsatisfying.
