Anyone taking a gamble on wnw at Day st early Sunday - wind maps look possibly wnw going w then wsw late morn - there's supposed to be a bit of swell - could be a few hours of cross shores

I think SW'ly. I'm heading to Bashams am, but haven't sailed there much so unsure if it'll be good or not. Low tide in the morning and have noticed the bommie breaks on the low.

OUTCOME:

Sailed at 11- 5m- couple had been out for a while-was 2 foot with odd bigger set with some fun overhead glassy inside peaks to smack - was better than it looked but really lumpy out the back

Was good till a nasty thunderstorm with lightning thunder hail and 40knt sw winds hit. Probably cranked in again after I left - but I had a roof full of water to deal with at home - fun fun fun - not to mention the monofilm on my S1 5m that went pop and split as I lifted it on my head to walk up the beach - bit of a sh!TTY end to the day really

Kent reserve in victor harbour, between the causeway and the bluff would be the best bet with the wind forecasted. Could be pretty good fun.
