Play it by ear
Watch the wind observations on here for Coolongatta and when direction goes true SE 15 knots+ it's always on.
For beginners there is now a nice flatwater section on the inside when the tide is up a bit. Just need the true SE direction for the wind to fill in there.

About October when you may actually get wind in the Alley
Midday till the 4pm shut down is the go. Might even see you all there.

Its stil looking good for the next few days, there will be some nice litlle waves on the point and the alley line up is epic long right hand waves should be fun if it blows for us.

Nice to see three of you floating around at the Alley on the Coastalwatch web cam

Looks seriously light or is that a good breeze for the Goldie

was almost true SE for a lot of the time at KFC today, and got pretty good from around 2.30

did it swing east enough to sail down there?

Yeah the Alley had a little wind but not strong, maybe 15knts plus gusts out wider. Ít turned se on and off. I sup sailed and had a ball.
Couple of guys on smaller gear were still having fun.
tomrw maybe stronger. Unusual for winter.
