Just checked it. Kawanas a wild and wolly 6-8 foot(not much bigger than yesterday) and 30-40 knots(wet sand is blowing on the beach up to head high). Pissin rain. If it was sunny you'd think twice about a run, on chooka's kite(he wouldn't mind if you left it out there, would he).

I had a friend go out on his windsurfer at the bar for about 20 minutes...he said it was to gusty....he looked like he was strugling a bit...every time I saw him he was in the water...

dude i drove past golden beach at 1pm, there were large waves in the whole channel, whitecaps where there shouldn't be any and one lonely windsurfer out on a tiny sail. stood on the beach and it was gusting 15-35 knots by my reckoning. would have been way too gusty to be fun on a kite i reckon.
barrie the monsoonz would have been insane in that wind man, i don't think you would have been able to hold it in the gusts, too powerful. you need a 7m waroo or something cheap for these nuking days.
hopefully it eases up and clears a bit in the next few days and i might be able to go out.
