I had about one hour of pure bliss kited the island off hilarys this arvo swell was pumping and the wind was at a guess about 22 - 28 knots at about 3.30 it kicked in. the waves and wind were working in my favour, It doesnt happen like that very often out there it was awesome just wish there was someone else out there to see it. still cant believe it words cant describe it
Here's the problem with this weather: the forecast is designed to discourage people from going out.
This is achieved by nominating the maximum predicted wind speed (and then adding 5-10 knots). On top of this, the current observation depicts average wind speed and 'gust' (maximum wind speed) for a given period.
What we actually want, in today's case, is the minimum observed wind speed, as well as the average and maximum. In terms of the seabreeze graphs, this would resemble a financial 'candlestick' graph. I'm not sure if this information is actually available, but it would be awfully useful.
yeah went out yesterday at woodies middle bay and off shore side, Very up and down- as poor relly put it like a whores knickers ha ha! But worth it for those wanting to fly....
