It's not here.......yet!

(eternal optimist!)

Its here in sydney ...BEST DAY EVER.....

A knowledgable friend of mine said that the sea off Perth is increasing slightly in temperature. This means that there is less of a gradient between the warm land mass and the sea and therefore the sea breezes will be lighter.

In the last couple of weeks, the winds seem to have a lot of southerly in them, if they are not staying easterly all day.

We have only had a couple of traditional easterly mornings and sea breeze afternoons that I can think of.

Still having lots of fun though.

you are welcome to keepem

I often am one of just one or two windsurfers at Pelican Point on a Saturday early, with passable wind (at least some of the time). Wind is capricious like that... everyone wants good wind, right when they are free to go windsurfing, and that doesn't drop just as they get the fin into the water.

Check with the Boss, maybe He can organise some...

SA is the new windsurfing mecca

Russhh drive about 65 k's past Ceduna and turn left ..There you will find waves
and a few creatures that look like my avatar

Hey Stribo - theres enough of them where you guys are - even locally in SA - and theres another 850km's to consider to get to Ceduna - went there in November - swell never stopped closing out the the namesake left in the bay - everyones favourite R/H point break was a bit of a handful with the one day of offshores 25 knt and 43 degrees - ended up sailing the little lake the next day in a howling sw!

I havn't sailed the delightful left on a SE but have been there surfing it since the late 70's as a 16 yo - used to see the local crew getting all the waves and havin a ball wished I started sailin when I was first going over there - but I still reckon even today there would be some brown stains in the wetsuit as I went out! Just sitting out the back at the left hander by myself made me more nervous than usual - somethong about snapper runs and october/november

Knowing me I'd go out underpowered, lose ground and end up getting snotted in the boils at Caves

Kinda lookin' forward to going to C******* and G******

The Clean Bag

A rumble down the dirt road
rust held together by metal, some
Caretaker of Paradise,
Old Man of the Sea
Yet, not so old
Provider of the Clean Bag

Sandy path muffles my footsteps
Little lizards scurry in all directions
tails and heads held high
Prehistoric in Miniature

Carefully I look between the stones
for any presence of colour
None
Good, I open the gate gingerly
and fasten it shut.
Aaaaah! The Clean Bag

I sit upon my throne, satisfied.
No-one has been here before.
I am the first.

I watch the world go by
through gaps in my chamber
High above me the clouds
change shapes
At night I ponder the number of stars
Always the thunder of crashing waves.

Where am I?
Ssssssh. Don't tell anyone.

I woudn't worry too much Susie most people couldn't afford to drive there these days and if they did would be too **** scared to enter the water.It took near perfect conditions to coax me in .Even then i think i had a spud in me wettie when i got out
Also it's no place for the trophy wife I can't say that i've seen anyone there with high heels and make-up
Still i've always wanted to spend a season there ... but i would probably turn ferral and never leave

Dunno what you're complaining about - I've had plenty of good sails perth in the last few months. At least one a week.

Sorry Leech. At least one sail a week is not "plenty" Its barely enough. You must be in control of your addition

Just watch out for the brown trout.

How do u explain the last 3 season then? Well maybe last season was ok but I was overseas, but the one before that was ultra crap

Don't get too excited Gonewindsurfing looks like it backing off
