hi all
does the seabreeze typically pick up in the afternoon??????
i work in the evenings and seem to missing out on the wind .
can anyone tell me if this trend is likely to change or if i should change job?!!!!!
cheers!!!

Its because the land heats faster then the ocean. This creates updrafts and/or lower air density compared to air over ocean. Then cool more dense air moves towards lower density hot air over land. Hey presto Sea Breeze! The opposite happens in the morning when air over land cools faster then air over water during the night................I think...

I dont think anyone is getting any wind - the season has been ** so far....next few days forecast look good though. but the BOM couldnt forecast to save themselves.

Typically the seabreeze is strongest where the land heats up the most - In Melb, this is St Kilda as the city generates a lot of heat - asphalt, cars, lots of reflective glass etc etc

indeed FT^%$^%$#^#$^$#%^#@$%#$@%#@$%#@$%#@%#@$^$^&*&&^% iv spent a month on the beach went to brighton said 22knots was 26knots and a guy got swept on the rocks a bit and poped his bladder..... i know this is irrelivent i just h8 bom and wanted to chuck that saga in for effect, less sunbaking more kiting

one question though im against picketing but dont know how to show it any help?

It always seems that when I have time off to kite it doesnt blow and when I havent it does. Only one thing remains consistent - the inability of the BOM to predict anything short of the sun coming up "sometime in the morning".

If you have been getting that much kiting - more power to you.
