The intent of this thread is to inform the melbourne sup community of the St Kilda water and wind conditions. It is not a commercial tool, and nothing of a commercial nature is to be posted herein.
This thread will be added to daily by local members of the community who wish to check the weather conditions and find out who is getting out on the water and when.
All daily weather conditions for St Kilda will now be posted under this one thread.
Cheers and happy paddling!

Mild
Flat 6" swell (Hawaiian style)

Denning

Might head to Williamstown mate...could be keen for the night paddle tomorrow....how long is the bus open for?
DJ,
I saw those and they are certainly substantial......Heaps of thickness all the way through the tail!
There is wind up at the moment and Julian's point isn't working right now
The new G-Boards are great,
I would be interested in your feedback David
They are an inch thicker through the middle and very floatie, strong carry handle just off centre.
I am also getting my new glide in the next few days, how exciting.
Will be down at the beach today from 4pm

P co, some of us are just sitting at work daydreaming and need somewhere to have a little dream of paddling during the day. Having the information delivered in real-time is just that much better than looking at the graphs...............The weather on the bay can change pretty quickly. Not a cloud in the sky today in Melbourne, but out my window at work the wind is howling pretty good. Often we get a window of opportunity to go for a paddle, but need to sort out where/when. (still figuring out the how ). St Kilda has a big kite community, so the guys at Seabreeze certainly have info online for wind, etc. Cheers Seabreeze!
Can't wait to try out some of those local glides when they arrive! Oh I can almost hear the sounds of little Naish cherry's popping all around Victoria.........
Probably see you after 4 Denning.
keep on sup'n! - Ronnie

It is always good to catch up with friends and meet for a SUP, to get tips, race or a work out.
The web cam is great, but it doesn't say when a good time to catch up will be.

the not just a weather condition report bus
Great day to see if Hugh Jackman dies at the end of Australia!
Rain, wind and chop

The bored bus
Just thought - it may be worth uploading a small pic ie 800 x 600pixels with each report. The web cam doesn't always work for me and the shots are not always the best.
Great night last night in St Kilda, apart from the lessons going off, we had 7 sup locals come down with there families and boards, it was nice to see so many great people in for some fun.
Today Tuesday 3knots ish from the south, wind is supposed to pick up later, tonight might be a good night for an evening sup!
Any thoughts on tonight?
