Hi, Raggy,

That's a lousy commute.

SW: Middle Park or Elwood

N: Green Point (but never trust a Northerly after 3pm).

SE: Rickett's Point South

All of these are paid parking.

Hope this helps.

Join Elwood SC, leave your gear in the locker. Never miss a seabreeze.

Expecting a WNW this weekend - Sat morning at 15 knots, dying out later... Where can I find a bit of flat water in VIC - don't mind travelling, as long as it's within 200km of Melbourne? Just looking to pull the big board out, practice gybes and so on. Am I right in thinking that anything with a west in it will churn up the ocean a bit around the Elwood area?

WNW would be ok at ricketts south. The reef should take the worst of the chop out - especially on the inside.

Hi Zeeber, Swan bay(Geelong) is damn flat on anything with N in it. A few of the Invy boys tend to do a road trip and catch up with our Western Bros. PM Red - a local to Geelong and he will give you a heads up on when, what, how and why. Booties and weed fins recommended.
