I can get the day off and the forecast looks promising. I'm keen on a trip to altona in the arvo. Anyone else likely to be out?

I was thinking of heading that way after work around 6pm...which would be just after low tide. Does Altona need a bit more tide? Or is low tide ok?

Thanks for the reminder SaltySinus. Don't worry, I'm familiar with Altona - just not been there during the week before.

stok - If you like flat water then high tide is better. If you're ok with waves then low tide is fine. You just need to walk further before the water starts. Look out for sandbars though. But if you're not familiar with it then what SaltySinus says is relevant. People have been in trouble because of the narrowness of the main beach and the fact there is a road and houses right behind it.

I find the Altona sailing club weather station the best

Good news there were no kites on the tree today. The wind was amazing and everyone was helpful A big thank you to the the kiter on the north kite who found my surfboard and brought back to me.
