laceys lane said...hey dj, another breezer and myself were talking about the amount of dw er's you guys get and the way you can seem to make just about any wind direction work. the runners look alright despite some of the locals saying they are too close together and chopy. the naish 17 fits in doesn't? the bay is looking like the dw capital of oz. spill the beans and give us the low down

no much been happening up here for a while
cheers
The weather here in Melb goes in regular cycles and the highs come and go.. As they move across from the west we get a south-west wind until the high is over us and we get a couple of still glassy days.. then as the high passes we get a strengthening north wind until the next high moves in and the wind turns south-west again.
Some times a low or high will sit over NZ and block the high moving and so we can get a few days in a row of either north.. or south-west wind.. Soooo once the good down-winding days have gone (the northerlies) we only have to wait a few days and they're back again.
Sometimes our north wind starts with a little nor-east in it and then goes true north and then turns into a slight nor-west before the change.. All these work for us here on the bay.. Also I think that because the wind starts dead off shore and runs parallel with the coast line we don't get any confused swells mucking things up.
