There seems to be a lot of little green arrows on the SA forecast for the next 5 days - can some one explain what this means.
A new (rather expensive) chinook uni joint purchased last weekend and ready for weekend action - if the arrows don't lie!
Looks like the wave and speedies might all get a guernsey.
Wind Russh wind......
Tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Where did you get your chinook uni joint from? I have been wait for seven weeks for one.
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!
you will jinx it, just pretend that you are not looking and maybe it will actually come.
I will do my bit and make sure that i have something on so that I cannot sail so that way the wind will definetly come in for everyone else.
Bought a new harness in April and it still hasnt got wet :o(
should be the goods on the weekend sundays forecast is looking good for northhaven and goolwa for the speed crew. my new Tabou should be arriving this week after a three month wait so i'm hanging out to give it a run
Grabbed a couple of shots as I drove past. One lucky windsurfer all by himself 25knts. Half a dozen out earlier - the waves were a bit ordinary.
ooohhh yea! i got a sail in tonite! got down to moana at 4.30. got absoulatly slaughted on my 5.2... should have went 4.4 
. you know the feeling when your that over powered that u struggle to keep board in contact with water and sail in up right position!!! was great fun tho!! were do most ppl sail on the mid coast on a nw??? i work at sellicks. but thats rreally gusty in that direction. it was a windy windy day... looks like this week end is wat we have been waiting for!!!
"Quote - were do most ppl sail on the mid coast on a nw??? i work at sellicks. but thats rreally gusty in that direction".
from my sailing adventures around here -
today seaford, triggs U turns n-nw- if it goes real NW -W with a high tide 1.8 or above try around snapper point gets a bit dodgy above 2.3m tide - a lot of water movement around towards pt willies - lowish tide aldinga boatramp or opposite the Aldinga shops "bottle shop"- you can get some great speed runs across the inside with waves at each end - and it can get pretty large out the back in a good swell - great gybes on the wave faces and jumps.
Sat looks like the Mid again - dodgy high tide at lunch time though.
looking at this weekends forcast is arousing me...... 
greeeennnnnnn is wat we all like!
Hope you all got onto some wind on the weekend - Saturday was a bit up and down but Sunday was krankin.
Pity the swell was a bit small and tide was a bit full.
Two days of sailing - how unusual.
So you sailed in the morning at Seaford?
We should have gone there! North Haven was lame for both days! Kyma nd Chris got up and going for a few runs on Saturday, but I sailed in the afternoon on Sunday, lame!
NH is a nice beach though!
Yeah Darren - Sailed from 0830-1100 at 3 poles - sailed up to U Turns about 1030 and the waves weren't any better, was heaps choppier and everyone was out so went back to seaford.
4.7 and evo 92 - had a great time too.
18 -23 knt plus cross off and very small waves at the mid - worth a bump and jump blast by the look of things. certainly won't be as much fun as last weeks waves.
Low tide at 1100 and it's gonna come in in a hurry - look at surf south oz or swellnet web cam to see what its like
day street might be a goer today - looks very north though and light at the moment and about 1 foot from the reports
C U out there
Not sure where to sail today, wind seen to be starting to blow. No swell with is a bit ****ty!
So TT do ya have your new board yet 
???? Or will it be another week on ya small gear? Where is all the wind i am hanging to go for a good sail and try my new sail's.
Blew its bits off for 30 mins about 1030 and then went glassy down here - didn't even get in the water - rigged and packed up - bugger
I didn't even leave home, I think when that rain came through it killed it. Maybe tomorrow but even then the forecast doesnt look that good.
We should be in Maui with Dave. I found this one the net below.
Respectable trade winds returned to the north shore today and brought with them a surprise guest, some funky, but fun waves at Uppers!
The wind got off to a slow and shaky start today as clouds and showers assaulted the north shore. But by lunch time the clouds were clearing and the winds were building. By the time I got to the beach around 1:30, Kanaha was pretty crowded with windsurfers finally getting what they came here for. Most crowded I've seen Kanaha outside of a race day in awhile. I guess the summer crowds are back.
Conditions were pretty good compared to what we've been seeing for the last three weeks. 5.3/85 was about right most of the time. The wind was a bit up and down and got a bit flukey when it switched offshore for awhile, but overall it was fairly strong and consistent.
I haven't figured out where the out of season waves came from. These were different from the usual summer time wind swell that breaks up at Camp One. There was more of a north component to them so you could actually get a couple of down the line turns on some of them. Most were in the waist- to shoulder-high range and pretty short period. But hey, this July. We're lucky to get even that here on Maui in July.
So, everyone I talked to was pretty stoked about the day's sailing. Also in attendance were the Goya guys, Francisco Goya, Josh Stone and others out doing a photo shoot of some new Goya sails up at Camp One. The new Goyas are looking quite a bit different from last year's - they looked pretty sweet.
Perhaps the best news is that it looks like the trade winds will stick around for at least several more days. The potential fly in the ointment is they might get soggy at times. But hey, the overall pattern is a good strong trade wind pattern, more typical of July in Maui, so we're all happy here about that
Any one heading for the mid this afternoon - hopin for a late one if it's still windy - 330 Seaford or U's.
don't want to sail alone!
Sorry Russh, I have to work today
I would love to hit the mid today it looks like there is no swell.
The long range forecast looks nice! I will be sailing Friday low tide at 10:45.
It was cold, just enough to plane on a 5.4, ankle high waves and then dropped out - just as i packed up at 5 oclock it blew it's nuts off again.
feet were so cold I cut one of them to pieces on the reef out the front of U turns ramp going out and didn't realise till I was standing in a pool of blood waiting for the wind to come back in.
That's not good Russh! I am going to sail Friday, I am hoping to wind will do the right thing for me.

So how was it Dzub - snapper about 10 knts at 330 with a super high tide and no one around.
Hey Russh,
I ended up sailing Seacliff I was on the water around 10:30 using 5m and 83 litres then I had to changing down to 4.2m. There was a nice sea running, backside wave riding and nice jumping. I had a great time out there.
Tomorrow looks okay.
Seeya
