Does anyone (i.e bender) know if this is a viable speed run in a crazy-windy westerly? Figured with the storm surge there might be clean wind. GE image is of Australind/leschenaut estuary

that wall is about 3 mts above the water.

super choppy one side with a rocky death if you stack it at speed,

And the other side will be flat and inviting but u will be slogging the whole way down it.

Sorry mate, the austro estuary is no good for speed.

Lechenault Inlet is a great speed sailing location. It just needs a low tide. in winter is cops big tidal storm surges.

It cant be too bad. I've done 33knt NM's and high 30's 2sec.

Its unreal in 20-25knt seabreeze.
