Its looking good for Low Head this arvo with a 20 to 30 westerly forecast swinging SW late.
I should be down there (Bell Buoy or East) around 1pm.

I probably headed down with the wrong psychology for a winter sail and just packed my small gear expecting it to be howling, I didn't check the observations before I left and more importantly didn't check the tide. The wind was a very swirly 12 to 18 kts and the tide was high and still coming in, it turned out to be a 3m tide which is pretty high and was killing the clean westerly ground swell. So no sailing but a good reminder to bring a couple of boards next time and go earlier as the change comes through and the tide is a little lower.

When September comes and it warms up i'll head up north for a sail with you. Maybe you can get me to pull off my first forward loop. Watched a new DVD the other night and it got me hyped up about pulling it off before I'm 60 and f!@@#?

It would be great to see you up here, not much of a looper myself but seeing Oli and Terry go for it during the nationals was pretty cool, maybe its not to late to learn.

your are dreamer old man, you might not be 60 yet but...
