Hi Lelos,

Narrabeen is best in easterly winds from the north east, through east through to south east. Westerlies can be okay and south westerlies work in certain spots.

I have sailed Palm Beach on the Pittwater side in a north wester and north easter and both were good. I think any direction works there except when the wind has too much west in it.

If its windy this Saturday I'll go sailing.

It seems like the Northern Beaches windsurfing scene is in pretty good shape..

Moby,

I am in town this weekend with no plans, so definitely up for a session on Saturday pending any wind.... Forecast on BOM ain't looking too promising, but fingers crossed. Let me know where you are thinking of going.

Great! I am doing a bit of voluntary work early Saturday morning but if its windy I can be out of there by about 10am. Lets see how the forecast shapes up. If its a westerly I would normally go to Narrabeen Lake but I am happy to try somewhere else. I went to Lake Macquarie a few weekends ago and there would be some great places to sail there in a westerly.

If you go to Narrabeen make sure you use the northern carpark as it will be best in a westerly.

If im not heading to Canberra this weekend, would you mind if i rocked up as well to the lake on Sat?

hee sweet, i will let you know on Friday if we are heading to canberra, Look forward to the swim on Sat : )

Sorry guys, heading to canberra for the day, so i will miss out on the swim, but i will heading to the lake sunday about 10 am b4 the winds die down to nothing. Enjoy Saturday guys have fun

I am unable to sail on Saturday too. An event I thought was on Sunday is on Saturday. Doh!

How did you go today?

I did not go windsurfing, down at Mount Kembla near Wollongong for the coal minining disaster commeration. One of my ancestors was a hero of the great disaster of 1902 where about one hundred miners died. It was a great day. I hope you all had a nice day windsurfing, the wind looked great.

Got out at la perouse yesterday, Frenchmans beach was a amazing with 4 hang gliders lauched from the dunes and hovering over the shoreline.
4 kiters weaving between the boats, boosting massive jumps, moored inshore and a few of us blasting across the bay.
The sun was out an the tourists were seeing why we enjoy the wind and water, even in winter.

Yeah im heading out to the lake sunday at about 11am , im bringing a mate of mine who can actually sail : ) hopefully see you there mate

A mate of mine has just moved back to Manly from the bush. We used to sail together when we were kids in high school - every chance we got. He is keen to get back into it and I want to bring my gear up one weekend and head to Narrabeen Lake.

Where exactly do you go at Narrabeen? Its been a long time since I was up around that area, so any locations would be appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks for that mate. Looking fwd to having a crack and plenty of swims up there.
