a few green arrows (forgot what they look like) and a strong wind warning for South central - why didn't this happen for saturday and sunday.
Anyone on it this afternoon or tomorrow - might be a chance at kent reserve or the mid (winter at sellicks thats different) or even Milang not sure when or what wind that works on?
Supposed to be a bit of swell comin too so fingers crossed - wind and waves - that would be novel.
Not sure about the next couple of days, but the long range forecast looks good for early next week... 20 - 25 kt NNW. Lets hope the winter winds are on the way. It kinda sucks being here with bugger all wind while all the suppliers are on Maui testing next years gear in side-shore winds in their boardies!
Thanks for that Dave! I didn't really need to know that. Have a good time. Photos!!
I have just got back from a trip in Europe, there where crew windsurfing in spain and north holland. Next time I am going to Tarifa!! The windest place in Europe.
Has there been any wind here over the last four weeks?
Wind has been bad, 2 sails in 8 weeks, hardly good preparation for Maui, did I mention I was going there in 5 weeks?
I might go for a float even if there is 10 knots on Saturday, I am that desperate.....
As for SITC, I have to attend a screening next week for work with 110 screaming chicks, seriously could not be bothered!
Yeah Dave saturdays starting to look alright i'm desperate as well. Havn't sailed for like three months. 12 knots i should at least plane a bit with the 7.8 up. Will talk soon and see what happens for the weekend.
Maybe I should go on another hoilday until the wind comes back.
Dave
You should contact Bert. He is going to Maui around the same time as you. I can give you his contact details if you would like it. It will be his 8th trip to Maui.
Just got a new board but since I hav'nt had a sail for so long I'm wondering iff anyone can tell me what those things are at back of the board ,they're like foamy half circles?

Looks cold out there - might need to use them to keep your coffee warm.
Looks promising this arvo - Sellicks or Kent for a quick sail late this arvo anyone? A mate said he is off to Milang this morning - he's hoping someone will be there to sail with - waiting for a text re conditions around lunch time.
I know it's wishful thinking, but if the forecast remains the same for Wednesday, its 'game on' down south. If anyone's keen, let me know. Goolwa Beach will be goin' off!!!
yeah sellicks- 5.4 and Freewave - had to change up to skate 112 - a couple of knee high waves - went a bit light for a while (6.4 would've been better) then sun broke through and was well powered up. Usual patches and gusts.
Yeah DZub - I work - start early alot, build up hours and get a quick blast whenever I can fit it in. Not hard to build up hours in recent months with no wind. I live at the mid coast and have my gear on board aa lot so when ever theres enough I am usually on it (by myself alot) after work if family stuff allows it.
Heli tack - a normal short board tack success rate of more than 1 every five sails is my goal!
hey fells and ladies. went down to sellicks this arvo (friday) the graph looked good on here went all the way down only to find margional winds and tiny waves. very dissapointed!!! hoping for enough wind tomorrow!!! were will ppl be out???? cheers! chris.
Yeah, I went down as well. There was more wind in my backyard at Seaford than at Sellicks... weird! Not sure what the winds going to do over the next few days. The forecasters seem to change their minds every hour or so! Hopefully they'll change Wednesday back to the way it was earlier... Tuesday's a work day!
oh i wish i was in maui,,,,,,,, oh wait!! three weeks and i will be!!!! thank god... i might forget how to windsurf if there isnt wind wind soon! winter sucks waaaayyy bad!!! i want sw 25 knots 2 ft seacliffe!!! PLEASSEEE HEUY!
Anyone heading to Seaford this afternoon if it's windy - hoping for a quick blast around four O'clock on the way home from work - be nice to sail with someone else.
