Hey just curious if victorias windy days are seasonal?
Up here in queensland, summer is apparently the best months for windsurfing. We have months of NE's then SE's kick in, then W's later kick in.

Down in victoria do you guys have seasonal wind? or do you just relie on the cold fronts to come through?
Thus does that mean you have stronger winds over winter?

I proberbly wont get a reply until next week, its that windy down there atm :P

Very seasonal

Winter - strong frontal northerlies, best just before lunchtime, most used sail 5m

Spring - S and W, most used sail 5.8

Summer - S most used sail 5.4 (seabreezes mostly but reliant upon certain macro conditions) kick in about 5pm - 7pm

Autumn - Rubbish except for when its 3.7m weather like today

Best winter in a long time last year. I managed to get in 5 days of sailing in a row. Fingers crossed for this one.
