Hi Folks,
Can anyone remember how to wavesail, because we are running the State titles in 2012!
Holding period – Sunday 5th, 12th, 19th or 26th August 2012
Competition Run Criteria/Location
Decisions based on Buoyweather – wind and swell
www.buoyweather.com/wxnav6.jsp?program=nww3BW1&grb=nww3®ion=AS&latitude=-35.5&longitude=138.5&zone=9&units=e
Called 2 days prior – check Seabreeze SA forum
Forecast Wind >= 15 - 20 knots
Day St – NW, swell > 2' (Swellnet)
Goolwa – NW, swell < 2' (Swellnet)
U-turns – N, swell > 1.5' (Swellnet)
Kent Res – S, swell > 3' (Swellnet)
A bias for side-off or side shore conditions at the start of the holding period. If onshore conditions occur at the end of the holding period we'll still call it and have a Pozo SA style! Event will be called on the basis of the forecast, but sailed in the "nowcast". Be prepared! If there is no comp in August, the Beachport competition in October becomes the State titles by default.

You gotto be in it to win it..... details of on-line registration coming soon.
sounds great, but only one bonus point for one handed loop! sounds a bit stingy. how many if i take one foot out as well?
Notice of event just two days out is going to make it a bit tricky for those of us who are keen to attend but currently interstate.
Will be watching the weather maps and forum closely.
Hope to see you guys there !
How many points do you get for a big no footed forward like i did last sunday? Who says it wasnt an accident 
Dr Duck said "Sunday's forecast"
Buoyweather - Sun 5th
10 am 17 - 23 knot NW
4 pm 16 - 22 knot WNW
3.9 - 5.1 m SW swell @20s
Fingers crossed!
Press the go button for a nice 7 day computer generated weather map covering southern hemisphere.
Pity some of that serious wind doesnt track a little further north
www.bom.gov.au/australia/charts/viewer/index.shtml?type=mslp-precip&tz=AEDT&area=SH&model=G
We dont want 40 knots day street with half a foot of waves. lighter wind and bigger surf is the go!
Buoyweather is now calling WSW10-13 knots am; W9-12 pm; SSW6'@15s for Sun. (Never trust those long range forecasts!). We'll watch for developments...
The forecast is changing everytime I look at it. I reckon Sunday will be on as there is a front moving through early next week.
It would be nice to get some waves and wind on the weekend!
Buoyweather
am - SW21-29
pm - WSW17-23
SW11' @ 16s
This is making for some interesting discussions/decisions!
My 2 Cents
Weather forecast looks way too much hit and miss.
To me Sundays a maybe.
Fronts are becoming more frequent now, there will be other weekends coming.
Geeze too scared to say but what the hell............
Forecast for Sunday is good, 6 foot swell and windy as
Today's forecast from Buoyweather for Sunday:
am WNW19-25
pm W24- 33
SW11-13'(ocean - halve that for near shore)@16s
Looks like Day St might come good, we'll see how the forecasts develop!
