Anyone else a bit frustrated with the weather so far in Feb?

Initially when those 2 cyclones up north gave us rain in Perth I was happy to see my lawn get watered. But bloody hell it has messed up the normal seabreeze pattern for almost 4 weeks now. This is really bloody annoying and im tempted to drive up north for a weekend just to get in a kiting session.

Most sh!t couple of months for a season that I can remember. The season started out beautifully and promised to be spectacular.

Arghhh thanks
its been the best in 9 years since I've been here, spoke to a local cray fisherman, reckons it's been the worst in 38 years( fishing weather)
its just getting a bit fickle in the last week , still had a high powered 12, 9 ,12 session this week , we generally get the last hurrah of nuking wind in the next month, then hopefully winter fronts
cracker of a season

I've recently bought a pile of new gear that I'm itching to try - that's why the wind is gone. Sorry WA.

It's also a bit annoying when seabreeze predicts green arrows almost all day and other than Rottnest everywhere is yellow arrows.

I hear you, but what is more frustrating is when you take that trip north, and spend 3 days in Jurien Bay looking at a millpond in 40 degrees one day, and then thick heavy cloud and still no wind the next, only to end up with a light wind session at Pinaroo on the way home.

Yep, over it. I need wind.
