Have the same issue with Narra in a NE. Sometimes it seems to get most of the prevailing wind, other times just completely misses it... I've seen people say it is normally 5 knots less than the Airport wind metre or half way between North Head and Airport but it unfortunately is just not that predictable... Varies anywhere from 5 - 15 knots less in my experience.

Palmy gets heaps more wind and is a safer bet if you can get up there. Still don't think it gets as much as Botany/Cronulla...

Best advise i have re Narra is to check out the surfcam first - http://www.swellnet.com.au/surfcam.php?region_id=13&state_id=2&cam_id=13

No kites up or they look they are working there kites hard - go to Palmy or Botany/Cronulla...

Does either of the above get more wind than Narrabeen? I have been going to Narrabeen the last couple of days as I have been working out at Hornsby, but only to get there and find no wind :( I get home and Botany has been cranking 23 knots.

Am I better off heading to any of the other beaches in the Northern Beaches? I will be up that way again on Sat..........

No wind at Palmy-it's the same as Narrabeen-go South-heaps more wind over that side.

That tool on the North?

I saw him too - didn't get close enough to the photographer to comment on her age.

I was the tool on the Rev.

Yeah-that was him-same thing yesterday (Friday)-for some unknown fuggin reason (which even he couldn't explain when asked) he again lost his kite on the beach-kite on the loose-and it went along the beach over the dunes into the car park and the bar got caught on a car-god if there had been a little kid there!

Same thing-his mother on the beach with her camera-the guy really needs to get his act together or find a new spot/sport.

He has been spoken to by a few people-we'll see what today brings.

Update? How was today? Did the mother have a video camera? Did sonny boy behave?

(this is better than a soap opera - and I get a daily fix)

A couple of us drove down to 7 Mile Beach, good downwinder to Shoalhaven Heads. Everyone behaved. No dramas.

It looked like Palmie was good today judging by the Noraheads windmeter.

Nah it sucked-on and off too much.

No sign of the wally......or his mum.
