Yesterday is a perfect example, can anyone explain to me why St kilda seems to get a extra 15knots over carrum/seaford/Frankston. I just moved to Seaford and realised that I missed out yesterday because all the action was in St Kilda.

Is there a reason for this, I mean I would have though without the city Carrum would get the better wind?

NOt sure why but Frankston often misses out on the wind it is nearly always 10knots lighter. ( a pity really the beach at the bottom of olivers hill has a perfect surf style setup with lotsa ramps ).

One day it will be on

frankston has heaps of wind now u better get down there

ill be out tonight at saint kilda

Some of my most memorable sessions were had at Seaford/Carrum, for good and bad[}:)] reasons

You can't go past the Patterson River Motorboat Club's website for wind & weather charts and a live (and controllable) webcam feed of the beach there. Webcam is useful to look for whitecaps or "a front moving in" if you don't want to believe the reading. Easy link: http://www.prmbclub.com.au . Look for 'webcams and weather' in the menu.

Another option if you're not getting wind in Carrum, but St Kilda is blowing is to go halfway to Brighton beach.. I found it more-often-than-not mimics St Kilda.

Can't wait to hit that crystal clear, choppedy chop-chop Carrum water again in January
