Steve and I are thinking of trying North West Bay, heading out from Margate at around 8am. Will try to head down toward Great Bay and see what it's like out there.
Maybe sandpits.
Kaleb, apple sauce, and Jordan are ripping it up there atm.
I whimped out but it looked fun and Jordan nearly pulled off the sweetest back loop.
Out off Dru Point. Drive to Margate and turn down Beach Rd, opposite the BP Servo.
Don't expect it to be that good, but somewhere a bit different for an average forecast. You can see it in the image below, together with Mortimer Bay off to the NE.
Russ and I are taking the 110 litre boards and 6.3/7.1 sails to Mortimer early Forecast looks perfect for that combo
From looking at that pic Dave, I hope you and Steve pack the outboards
PS where do you think the wind that hits Mortimer comes from ...
... it funnels between the gap between Tinder Box and Dennes Point (accelerating to hyperspeed) !!
See you guys in the morning! No, not the guys down the chanel that may be trying out their new Locating beacons tomorow[}:)]
Have just registered it, you've got me worried. Classic shot Steve!!!
Dennes Point has a 'Latest Coastal Water Observations' station. Been blowing 15-20 knots all morning.
