Good solid southerly Monday (nearly 30knots and sunny) lots of Clifton beach fun with a few kites out and about too even stronger wind forecast for next two days things are picking up
Highlights; damos push loop crash
Half a dozen of us sailed Nutgrove last night. I've not sailed a seabreese with a 4.7 for a long time. It honked til about 4:30, then slowly fizzed. Which made it a little difficult for Alan to get back from the other side of the river. Kazza's new board went like a rocketship.
Wednesday looking like a howler. Meteye suggesting Westerly and strong at Dorans, Mortimer and Carlton from 11am onwards. Looking at 25-30 around midday, strengthening to 30+ knots early arvo. Backs off slightly late arvo to 25+ with a slight swing to SW. Carlton getting 2-3m swell. For that sort of wind strength, I think I'll get rag-dolled in the surf, so might try Morts or Dorans instead. I like my gear in 1 piece. Preferably not a floppy, ripped and buckled piece.
Don't think you have worry about surf smashing things at Carlton today only 2ft is forecast
the wind maybe strong enough for some jumps I hope
South Arm Hwy at Lauderdale was sprayed away by high tide and huge wind/waves this morning on my way to work........it looked fantastic out there.
Flouro on the outside. Full on, doing well to stay on
Good to see Argo from The Netherlands via WA out sredding. Welcome to Tassie.
Crackerjack firing
Great jump Fluro and thanks to Paul for taking time out from sailing to take a few snaps. Wild session and I was over powered with 4.2 most of the time (Fluro was hanging on to a 4.7). Direction was great, the sun was out - would have been ballistic with some ground swell.
