Hello!

Heading to SA from Melbourne with the family these school holidays. A buddy from RPS said that Robe is great for a sail and that I should take my gear. But I can't take it all with me so I have to pick and choose to suit the usual expected conditions.

Can take a slalom or a wave board, but not both, and have a quiver to suit pretty much everything.

Most of my sailing is bay stuff on Port Phillip, so am not really great in the surf. But can get though it. And I love a speed blast at Sandy Point.

So, what should it be? Is it 20 knot seabreeze territory, for example?

And bummed that I will miss the Easter Classic. :(

Someone else said that the lakes as ok for a flat water blat, but can be a bit weedy. Is this worth looking at?

Cheers

John

Hi John, I am a beachport local by late march the SE seabreezes are hit and miss, usually easter is the last hoorah, I would base at Beachport as there is options for all wind directions and robe is only 30 mins away, just bring the slalom and a range of sails, the lake will be quite low by then and a weedy would certanly help even the bay has has lots of weed floating around, more bump and jump at beachport unless the wind goes W to NW then waves are on. if you have a 4wd drive there are also plenty dunes to check out, I will be in Tassie then so won't be around. but back for Easter.

sailed the lake george today you WILL NEED A WEED FIN to sail there but the water is flat as, I would be chucking in a 6.7 sail as well. but if no room I should have a spare one.
