Two sailed from next to Stanley caravan park in arvo. 4.5 mostly with some 5.2. Tricky off shallows due to Nut wind shadow but breeze very solid once in deep water. Substantial "chop" off the entrance to the inlet (3/4 mast or more & moving fairly quickly & good at nailing you). Same easterly pattern of +25kts willy weather at this stage for Wednesday arvo and plan to rig same place around noon. Tide dropping so a decent walk home at the end of arvo. Recommended for freestyle wave funtime.
Youse were spotted by the speed sailors in the channel around low tide (where I was hanging around on the flat stuff). Plenty of shore break out there on the ocean side by the looks of it. I don't know whether Peggs is sailed much, but there are a few surprisingly sized waves formed over the reef off shore as the tide dropped. I managed to get right in front of an "oh s#@t" wave and survived, followed by an "oh f#$k" wave which carried me atop my sail back into the deeper water.
.... hence the "rest" in the flat water. I'll try camping there when it's a less populated with XMas campers.
