OK, I think I'm good for Tuesday. Where you goin Salty ? Gestalt, just looked on Google Earth, would'nt VP be flat in a Southerly at low tide or even with a bit of west in it

problem is that from my experience in a southerly the swell starts to wrap around the bank and it can launch you. like wello in a NE, even at low tide it can be enough to put you off. That doesn't happen in a SE'er or ESE like when we were all there.

None of us have really given it a good go in a good SW'er. so i am keen to see what happens.

but jinxy who has sailed there in a SW tell me that it is flat everywhere in a SW. i am hoping that behind the funnel is going to be the flattest. so that's where i am heading for. So i guess i'll let you know tomorrow night.

all i can say for certain is :-

it gets very bumpy in a southerly at high tide. which i love. when you get a roaring southerly and high / king tide you get small waves. mk and i had a very memorable session there last year in those conditions.

plus the bank is dead flat in a SE'er or ESE and so far i have found it the best in that direction.

I can come down and pick you up if you want.

Fitz, outstanding, just need to work out where too !!!

beachmere is supposed to be awesome b&j in a SE'er. but i haven't sailed there.

i reckon you may be onto something. but i would sail further out the mouth. with the trees and stuff i think it will be no good. further out in the mouth beside the bank may be the spot. burrum heads is very similar and runs for 3km

looks like it may be excellent in a NE as well.

yeah yeah hando! [}:)]

back on topic.

still is my pick.

even though google earth is pixelated if you zoom in close you can see the shelf edge. all 2.6km of it.

plus when sailing there years ago with pete i don't rmember it being anything but flat in a SW'er

na this is the place to go.

Is there a prize for the team with the most posts?

I'm working all week so are out. You guys will have to post some good times for the team!

Is someone going to VP tomorrow who can scout for wind and text us all to give us enough time to get there for low tide Otherwise its a 1 hours drive for a maybe The graphs showed lots of wind on the bay today but it did'nt seem to come in

PM me yer number... I'm making the 1.5 hour drive early

It'll come in

Yes, Golden Beach. I'll go around the bar first up About 10.00 and come around for flat water later. Went out the bar today. 5.4 and 84 Trance. Did a bit of dredging here and there but still had a good day. Being 85kgs I sink like a rock when it shut down. Not as bad a Gestalt by the sound of it.

I wish. Sadly no it wasn't. Don't think the knees would take a rough landing these days.

it's blowin,

whitecaps on the bay
