I have the day off tomorrow and I am desperate for a sail. Where will be the best place to go that is flat in an easterly? The wind looks ordinary but but a bob around is better than nothing.
Button road has a carpark, or slap bang between the aldinga ramp and the furthest south ramp on the beach,
Best in a SE wind,
I never told you this info OK.....
Beachport surf beach solid 22 knots Se then to went cross shore E sweet swell as well. jump city.
hey Yetti I think you are a bit past the learner stage.
Good to see you still sailing blue troopy got them gybes wired yet.
I ended up going to Rankines landing and sailed from 1 to 3 pm. The seabreeze graphs show the wind shifted to a SE. The wind built steadily from 13 to 18 knots. It certainly did not feel that powerful to me.
I rigged my 6.0 and it was fine for the whole time. If I was in 18 knots at Seacliff I would be struggling on my 5.2 in 18 knots. So I don't know how accurate the wind speeds are. It's has to be as accurate as the forecast.
Any way I think Rankines landing is a great place for learners. I had one of my best sessions today. It was an absolute blast. I can't wait to go back again.
Thanks for the birthday wishes Shane. It has been a great birthday.
Let me know if you're keen. I'll come.
PS/ Should have checked the date of your post. I thought you were taking tomorrow off.
I'm on the verge of going on Sunday if the forecast picks up, let me know if your keen....its not looking good though.
northhaven tonight ,, maybe ,, middleton / goolwa tomorow ,,, maybe boggy sunday,,,allways take ALL your gear
I'm thinking north haven am port Hughes pm on Sunday, nice 20 knot sw coming through at port hughes....
So I don't know how accurate the wind speeds are. It's has to be as accurate as the forecast.
the wind speed shown on the BOB site is usually at least 5 Knots lower than seen on the water.
you need to take that into account when sailing the Goolwa Lake.
still a great place to sail, just need to look at the water rather than the current wind speed shown on the Graph or BOM site.
Enjoy
That Hindmarsh weather station is a bit how's yer father, but there is normally always wind down that way, so can't stuff it up (except for Hayden's "Goolwa bubble" effect in summer)
Thursday got home at 5.00 it was blowing 15 knots
by 6.00 pm it had picked up to 20 knots with a bit extra in the Gusts
and Cold !!
