Check out
www.windguru.cz/15753
In 'Options' check modifications that hone down on certain conditions for the inlet. Would like to go but have to work.

Low tide inside the inlet, is about 11:30am - at this stage it looks like the arvo will be a few knots stronger.

Would love to get down but I've got a few meetings on that i cant get out of (i'll try and juggle them around though), my last one is 2-4pm in Leongatha. I'll definitely have a sail at Inverloch after work 4:30ish, there'll probably be a few others around Invy in the arvo. Feel free to pop up and say hi.

Its about 35-40mins from Sandy: goo.gl/maps/urkJr

Tried to sail sandy pt today but wind seemed to be too much from the west.
Couple of others went out late & got stuck out there with the high tide I won't know how they went until they get back.

I'm probably heading to the inlet tomorrow, looks wind is more SW and around low to mid 20knots. I'm pretty sure it will be a good day.Let me now if you still there via PM

Couldn't make it today. Work intervened!

The late arvo forecast looked good but the tide was all wrong so no incentive to play hookey.

The best angle for best speeds these days in about 10 degrees South of West. Not very nice for normal blasting and one hours though which is better when it is true SW.

I could probably get there for tomorrow arvo but tide is still a problem. I will be there late tomorrow anyhow. Hope to catch up.
