Where do you guys get your information from? Looks like reasonable wind to me (especially down south):
yes but no but yes but no but yes
It wasn't like that yesterday. The met dicks are changing the forecast quicker than they are changing their socks.
Somebody mentioned sticking their finger in the air. Who was that ?

Yeah, you're not wrong, they've done it again...
but at the same time the verbal forecast says something different:
IDS1002304
Gulf Waters:
Saturday until midnight : Wind: S/SE 13/18 knots and afternoon sea breezes
15/20 knots. Sea: 1 to 1.5 m, reaching 2 m during the afternoon. Swell: S/SW 0.5
to 1 m on southern Spencer Gulf increasing to 1 to 2 m by mid afternoon.
Sunday : Wind: S/SE 10/15 knots, easing to 5/10 knots during the morning then
SW/SE 13/18 knots with sea breezes during the afternoon and evening. Sea: 0.5 to
1 m, rising to 1.5 m with sea breezes. Swell: S/SW 1 to 1.5 m on southern
Spencer Gulf.
Monday : Wind: SE/SW 5/15 knots and afternoon sea breezes 10/20 knots.
... I give up, take your pick!...
... a "maybe" 15/20 knots is is not my thing...I'll be staying @home

There was about shoulder high surf with good breaks between the sets. Was a bit light - but no trouble getting out and got lots of rides. Was cross off shore with nice peeling smooth waves. Got 2.5 hours of sailing.

Any photographic evidence??? Lol |

Buying a camera today!

shredded my 5.2m, 4' solid well over head high and 20k cross-cross off. john and myself only at nene.
huey, john's son was getting the odd 3 second barrell on his surfboard on the break i was sailing, that trip to bali has helped for sure.
john was up the beach a bit getting them from right out the back, 200-250m wave rides.
i had to glugg around on my 4.7m, just heading out past the break and gassed in on some heavy stuff, went hard at some lips and ended up swimming quite a bit

sailed at Beachport was a 15 to 20 seabreeze got out for around 4 hours, was some good ramps for jumping but mainly just had a blast out the bay. was on a 5.0 ezzy wave should have rigged a bit bigger but was still basting ok. went upwind to the demole reef but swell was not quite big enough for it to break properly.

I think we definately need to get down to Nene and join you Pilchard - just hard to make the call and get a leave pass from the family
Maybe over the xmas new year period
Looks like fun
|
|
|
Well Pilchard, looks like it's not a secret any more! 
Wish I still had my shack there
Good to see John still on the water.
Down home for Xmas this year would be good to catch up |
|

pretty sure that it was one wave in a very slow sequence.
didnt alow much time to be the next john carter maybe 5 minutes tops.
it was a set wave but not one of the biggest for the afternoon.

Here in Gero at the moment with left handers in 30 knots down the line, where would I rather be. hmm, Give me Nene Valley any day.
7 more sleeps to go and I'll be back home.
Must be pretty good there for the old fella to be out
Hey Pilly, Looks like Nene Valley break was jacking up in the back ground of #5 photo, did you get out there? Looks about mast high
|
|
|
|
not quite mast high ian but very solid!
big test coming up tomorrow as theres going to be a 6m sw swell and 20k westerly slapping into the boat, might be giving the gulls a feed 
looks like the seabreezes are trying to kick in but i think theres not enough heat inland yet, cant wait till the adelaide folk start to cook lol |
