this weekend is confusing? which day to go.

the bom, which is never right is saying 20-25 SE.

i think once again seabreeze (or the euros) have it right again.

wello? VP? Goldy?

Gesty I dont think any of them have been getting it right latley.
East on Sun so wello

Well 20knots is on seabreeze for midnight Saturday night...hmmm would want a high tide and full moon for that.

I am considering a drive down to the goldy on Sunday for something different. Will see what the wind is doing as it gets closer.

Holy duck poo bom changed there forcast too 20-30 for Sat whoohoo.

Wind guru says 14k. Lozza sez 22.

guru always seems to under estimate which is good news

Yep - I think VP Sat around the high tide for me. SE more likely for Sat as I think will turn more E on Sun, even Sat pm. Fingers crossed for a Sat sail

VP for me too then!

bringing the camera and all the kit just in case the wind doesn't show up. will aim for early 10am to get the advantage of the tide.

I've not sailed at VP before, where do you launch?

The broadwater is a bit of a mess with the marathon stuff.

VP for me

I'm excited

Minstral Nick - suggest before high tide if there is enough wind. I think High Tide is around 10:30am so maybe an hour before. You need to be there close to high tide as the tide goes way out and a long walk at low tide plus pretty muddy way out. Also you were asking how to get there. Head to Vic Point and turn right at Thompson St, then right again near the beach area. We generally rig at the right hand end of the beach, but I see others now rigging at either end. I think the kiters prefer the left hand end. Keep an eye out as it seems there will be a few there tomorrow.
Hope to see you there.

I'm working Saturday so theres a good chance it will blow its ring out all day until four oclock pm...........have fun

Yeah that rain has killed it off where I am as well.

Now it just looks like a miserable day, the cams on the Goldie don't make it look very promising either.

Rain gets less around Southport. Hey, we'll get wet anyway ;)
And 30knots is not too bad.

still raining here but the wind is starting pick up a little so i am packing the car.

VP but i'm not sure how long i'll be there because it's turned to crap again.
