Grant have sailed the last 3 days own here, has been a huge 6 metre plus swell the last 2 days as well. too big for me today after it smashed me good yesterday so went out the lake, looks good as today ended up being 18 to 23.
the warnabool crew are over and are staying at Robe ( 8 wave sailers ) so you won't be alone. they where at Beachport today.

Ended up being solid. Swell good although gradually dropping - shoulder high, easy to get out. Wind started a bit on shore but gradually strengthened and switched side then cross off. 20 - 25 knots for the last hour and a half.

Worth the drive!

Good day at robe on sat.

Stayed the night but it was no good on sunday (earlier today). Wasted some time driving down to Beachport and it looked about 18 to 20 knts at midday. Thinking the wind had picked-up, drove back to Robe at 1pm and it was calm. In hindsight, I should have sailed at Beachport in the onshore wind.

Just one guy at boggy at 4pm in 8 knts.

Hey Qautro25 I got to Beachport about 1pm and sailed till 3-30 as had to go to a wedding, sailed on a 4-7 ezzy and was fully powered up and when I was packing up increased even more, went more to the east making great crosson jumping to the left of the car park as the beach bends around up there.

Nice one JB . We were talking about your awesome GPS tracks at Beachport the other day after a session (ie: how you sail in between the waves along the beach).

wow ... 45 kms makes a big difference in the wind.

i've only sailed at beachport on just one occassion about 10 yrs ago in cross-off conditions, but if I had seen someone else out then I would have joined you :)

oops sorry quatro25 I stuffed up, sailed 5 days straight and got a bit mixed up that was my saturday session, on Sunday was sailing fully powered up on a 6-7 racesail at lunchtime with the warnarbool crew out the spit about 1.30 it picked up to around 18 to 23 SE and even a bit more to the East and sailed the last couple of hours on a 5-8 racesail running along the bank, the other cre where on 5 metre wave sails. the spit usually will be 5 knots stronger than the beach in a SE seabreeze.
been blowing Northerly 20 to 25+ here all morning but too bloody gusty for me after the good 10 days off I have had. back to work tommorrow,
