Not sure if this'll work, but it's always good to see a windsurfer in the general press...

I got there on the water at 11:00 on a 4.7 which I was overpowered on. By the time I came in ad made adjustments the wind started dropping from 11:30 to the point where I would have preferred to be a 5.0/5/3. Still just powered outside but with so much water moving around and waves sweeping across the rocks in front of Brownwater i was conscious of keeping upwind. A couple of guys took the risk of picking up that peaking wave just off the edge of the slab that drains at low tide but very risky.

Matt and G were able to pick off some nice waves near the Aussie flag and looked to be having lots of fun.

By 1:00pm it was too light for the 5.3 and rapidly falling - the kiters were right into it.

In those weired Easterly Winds the Basin works as an option.
