Less than 9 days to go, less a 6 hour drive and 15 beers to numb my excitement to get through the night before.

Long range forecast shows too much fun to fit into 4 days, the water will be wet and beer flowing freely, with the occasional late night spirit, but backed up by a sizzling BBQ with Bacon to the east and Eggs to the west. Swell predicted to be ridable and moving up and down, left and right. All adventurers are to be advised there is a catagory 9 alcohol warning in place for the weekend 26 - 29 of November, so begin training now.

Hope to see you all there,

You better be careful JB - 15 Beers the night before would have you still over the legal limit for the drive down there !!! And there are few sections of the Princes Hwy that are a bit HAIRY ! Like those tiny narrow bridges that crop up right on really sharp bends (and they aren't wide enough for you and the Semi trailer coming the other way) Drive carefully!

I can't wait either !

See you down there

15 beers is standard operating for me, so no fear JBmel. Thanks for the concern though. I have been a bit out of training! no more 6 packs before breakfast this year.

Anyone have a good swell forecast site that includes the Merimbula area?
Maybe a global wave model?

Is this site not good enough?



Looks like wind coming from the right direction. This will change heaps by the time it gets closer! With any luck the southerly will be bigger, and bring more swell. ALso with a few days good nor-east, there may be a southerly on the weekend. I've never planned the Mambo from the foreacst, and it's always put it on, especially last year's.

Sometimes it's right under your nose, didn't think to check here for some reason.
I've never planned around the forecast either and it's never really delivered as far as swell goes. I didn't get there last year though.

Fingers crossed we get the bar for at least 1 day!

Finally,with the help of JB the training regime is donw pat.
Re the weather forecast watch that space as the high strengthens as often the nor'easter comes in a bt stronger than on the sea breeze prediction.The sou'easters you can adda fair bit as the wind meter is at the airport in the lee of the sou'easter.
Swell looking like being from north so chances of Bar being on looking slight bur PB Short Point Bournda will have great SUP waves in the mornings before the onshores.

Anyone down earlier the MSClub is having test BBQ on Sunday 22nd at shed at Main beach.

Keep up the strict training only 6 sleepless nights to go
