Hopefully we get some a strong Easterly on Saturday.
Myself: Saturday I'm heading down to Sandy Point to help out at the Wave Comp and have sail. Sunday might have to be catch-up with some home duties, but I try and get a sail later in the afternoon if the seas breezes kick in. Maybe at Elwood if time permits or my local Bonno. With regards to the informal clinics on the bay, keep an eye on this post and future 'Where are you Windsurfing this Weekend' posts. The Wave Comp at Sandy Point will try a wave style of clinic.
Refer to the extract from BOM forecast below for Port Philip Bay.

Please note; this is not a WV event and this post is to be used as information only. The intent of this post is for windsurfers to post where they could be going to windsurf this weekend and for other windsurfers to possible come and join them.
guys for those of you thinking about sandy point i would be prepared to put money on it being a minimum of 20 knots by lunch time. the swell will be good so it will be great for everyone who wants to have a crack in the waves.
4.7 packed and ready for the B division! Paint currently drying on the bodged repair. Can't wait - see you all tomorrow (hoping it is 5.4 weather for me
Just back from a great weekend at sandy point, after the challenging conditions in front of the shop saturday we had an awsome sail with 5.0 sails at Waratah bay [the gap] today, sun out all day and some small breaking waves to ride.
