It never ceases to amaze me that with the forecast wind it always gives hope, 7 days out, and by the time the day comes, it is red arrows everywhere.
I issue the challenge to forum heirachy to just put red arrows all the time, so as not to get our hopes up!
And don't say...."it's just an indicator of what might happen" as a lame excuse....as we all know it won't happen and we can not surely base our kiting travels or holidays based on the inaccurate falsehood of the graphs.

Nuff Said...

I'm having a bash at the cabin next weekend forcast looks good all invited.

we are forcast for good stuff too, but we all know what'll happen.....

NOTHING!

..your glass half empty mate?

maybe not just the glass?

you are conveniently forgetting the other half of the time when there is no wind forecast but then you score a bonus, unexpected session.
has happened 3 times for me this week

Agreed with you stabber, the graphs lie, esp. in winter.........sometimes just going and looking for wind can be fun...cheer up, it is ok.

does anybody know where seabreeze gets there forcast from?
ive always wondered....

Chicken guts and tea leaves-at least at the moment....

nice one Skid......might as well post him the razor blades now.....

I find the seabreeze forecast extremely accurate for about 3 days in advance, then it's more of a grey area, but that is the nature of weather forcasting. If you don't think seabreeze is good enough perhaps you can learn to read the charts and figure it out for yourself, I have been trying to learn this and it really gives you a much better understanding of what conditions produce wind, something all wind addicts would benefit from knowing. It also gives me more respect for the forecasting pros.

Check out the perth forecast for this week. And we probably WILL get our forecast winds too...

Must be a hard job being a forecaster in perth.

sounds like more hands on than actual shooting

If it's not windy you should go and plug chicks, Sydney is about 70% female, it's like shooting fish in a barrell!

yeah but remember, it is sydney you're talking about....

.... if you're on oxford st or in newtown, atleast 30% of those chicks you're tryin' to plug either ain't really gonna be chicks, or ain't gonna wanna be plugged unless you're wearing a flannoand doc martens; are conveniently missing a well positioned bottom tooth and happen to have to strap on your lady pluggin device.
