Great, the forecast had promised nothing.

Looking a bit rough fellas. Not like the locals to sail with a bit of a wave on the Inlet

Inverloch Pier will give the tides too, they'll all be interpolated anyway, the closest actual weather station is pound creek

I suppose some of it is just familiarity with the weather patterns. Willyweather and meteye are Bom afaik. WW only gives you the average wind speed, so you can usually add at least 3 knots for gusts. If the arrows all line up the same way for the whole day then the wind will not have holes in it. Fronts are N followed by W followed by SW. Inverloch entrance is no good with anything with North, but Area 45 can work on NW, W and E. Light rain usually means squalls from SW or W

Westerly will always have holes in the wind at Invy as it get bounced around from the headlands. That's why 45 is a better choice with that direction

I was waiting for that bank to seal over! Just need an epic westerly now.

Oh look - next Wednesday perhaps!
