Too much south west in it today for the coast,
yesterday it was south -south west up there and it made it gusty, today would be worse.

Where to...or has the wind fizzed early?
Sandpits maybe I'd like to check it out, don't think the wind will strong enough for seven mile but I'll check that out on the way through.
What's the swell doing anyone been down yet?
Kelverdon I think best riding would be on strong SSW. True southerly would be too onshore....... my opinion for what it's worth. Should have followed Jules up there yesterday.
Best riding is on Buxton Point
Lisdillon best on a SSW wind I think yesterday was spot on for wind, pretty consistent not gusty.
Little Swanport
I think this will only work on a southeasterly wind. The hill is very low anything further south is in the lee of the big hill.
Talking to Buzzy he reckons it's pretty hard to get the right conditions here but worth a look as only 5 mins off the road
Hermitage
Best on SSW wind which is gusty due to the hills close by but still OK. Best riding is right on the reef, try not to end up down wind on the beach as the shore break can be a bit of a pain

Fos don't ask Cracker if he sails like his team plays he's better off in the bath
If you're wondering what team it's the one that got done by 145 points!!!
It was pretty flat in the north but still enough wind on Saturday for a few runs. The maritime guys arrived just as the wind kicked so there were a few on the water. Sunday was forecast to be a little better but nothing eventuated.
I need sunnies on to look at these photo's
Great coverage there Mr President on the east coast beaches
Hey guys. Just a quick question. Does the lagoon at marion get wind in on a SW (today)?
Or where is a good flat water spot for today? Thanks Andi
This is what we asked for anyone out there keen to go up to Lisdillon, no way would I do this on my own

I think you can sail down there in this direction.

waves at remarkable cave solid 3 metre with wsw wind at around 20 knots swell mdirection appears to have a fair amount of west in it as waves not breaking on safety cove reef, good to look at not so hot for getting into, pity the tide was out otherwise the cave would have been booming.

Bloody Sups, almost as bad as Windsurfers.
Pretty crowded but plenty of waves to be had.

that's because the SUPpers ARE windsurfers.
