I was wondering if anyone has sailed off grange or henley beach? Are they choppier than say seacliff or kingston park or any other beach along the coastline?
I started out as one of the Henley crew back in the days when Dave Marsh had his shop there. Now I sail Seacliff. I think the whole metro coast has about the same size of chop on a given seabreeze day, but north of Glenelg it seems to be a bit closer together so that it's more like mogul skiing than down south. And the seabreeze lasts longer and is a bit stronger the further north you go - might be important for an after work session.
WHoa ... Dave Marsh's shop ... now that's a trip back down memory lane.
I used to sail there ... recollection was that Henley often had a vicious shore dump, more so than the others, that could be even the difference between getting out for a sail and spending time getting pummeled.
Wonder what Dave Marsh is up to now? Anyway, I agree that the shorebreak at Henley in a big blow was/is a mast-breaker. Thought that was normal until I moved down to Seacliff
