Sitting here debating the same thing.

Forecast looks crud, and I've got a camping site booked.

Never seen a trough funnelling precipitation from NT to the south east coast before, ever. F#@king thing has to be slow moving too. WTF about the "Great Dividing Range" eh? Not so 'great' at stopping all that b@stard rain.

I've really been looking forward to going, not just the kiting and surfing, but the beauty of the place, and, ok you got me, 4 days away from the wife and kids.

Surely even if it rains and there's not wind or waves there is still an opportunity for fun eh?

I'm a first timer, I need some encouragement and reassurance from you experienced people out there.

don't worry about the wind, no one goes to mambo to kite...

"Never seen a trough funnelling precipitation from NT to the south east coast before"
Its been happening in all the recent la nina years .it is also why your local does not have the same problems as in WA of overcrowding and associated issues due to the rare occurence of wind in the SE of Oz and the absolute frustration of regular riders and noobs in particular who just don't have the patience
having said that the forecast and maps look good for Sat and Merimbula always seems to deliver 1 or 2 days at least of kiteable conditions for the event

Can I butt in here with a bit of a punt..... We are starting to generate our own wind.... Keep this up and well get 20 knots and head high ......whatever it's gunna go off. Cattle are curing.... Chooks are hanging..... The lime trees have been raided .... Trust me it will go off

Oh yeah and I forgot to say ......it's gotta come up cause it can't get any flatter..... You know the saying the lull before the storm.......well look out. See you Thursday

might be time to take up smoking again. The stress is getting to me.
