Windless places:
Western Australia KARRATHA calm, E
Western Australia BROOME calm, E
Queensland FLINDERS REEF calm, E
Victoria CAPE OTWAY 1 knot, SW
South Australia ADELAIDE 3 knots, N
Victoria PORTLAND AIRPORT 3 knots, SE
Western Australia PERTH 3 knots, S

It's been over 3 weeks since we've seen anything over 10kts! And apart from one 80kt day, nothing decent yet this year!

Who else is suffering? And more importantly......Who's getting it all?

Going by the charts this Friday-Saturday-Sunday and Monday looks like being pretty good but apart from that my running is getting good doing 9km 3X a week now

Whos "getting" it? These non windsurfing periods are ideal for "getting it". Just put all thoughts of windsurfing aside, stop checking Seabreeze forecasts hourly and PAY ATTENTION to the loved one. No shortage of "getting it" will be forthcoming.

On Saturday I bought a 105 litre board. So basically that rules out any winds over 20 knots in Sydney for the rest of the year. Sorry guys.

Fortunately I own its bigger brother, a 140 litre Tabou Rocket, upon which I had a reasonable sail on Saturday.

I have been looking at the winds in Sydney and rarely is it windless here nor rarely is it windy. So the best board for Sydney is something that will get going in about 5 to 10 knots, or sail a dingy.

Yeah NQ has been great the last couple of months (I'm in Mackay), except I keep breaking all my gear broke the uni joint about 8 weeks ago, replaced that then broke my mast in the first 15 minutes of the next session then a couple of weeks later cracked my board right across the bottom and around the rails so I got a new board and then on Saturday my boom broke

Had a great sail on the weekend with a chunk of the Perth speed crew and most of the Crab crushers.

Brilliant

up here was a bit breezy too for our standards the whole week and end, funny it's about the end of the season and it's been a month of wonderfull northerly direction which isn't shifty or gusty just 14-18kts. all day long unlike the real nor'easters from 12-30 but any sail is fun enough for the soul

Toowoon Bay last week had two days out in 20 knots.
At the moment its 31- 34 knots at Norah Head from the south.
Im out of here
