Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?

Hopefully it won't rain as much over the next day or so. It would be nice to get some wind around the 20 knot mark.

Myself: I'll check the forecast later tonight and then first thing Saturday morning to determine my Saturday activities. With the current forecast I might try and get a sail at Bonno with the northerly winds, but 90deg variance in the wind forecast is a bit iffy. If the wind is light in the morning I'll start Saturday off down at the Swap Meet and then hopefully get sail when the wind picks up, maybe at Greens Point or back at home ground.
Sunday I'll try and get a slalom sail at Elwood in the afternoon if the forecast stays the same. Otherwise if it does go back to 25knot forecast from some form of west wind I'll head to Mount Martha or Safety beach.
With regards to the informal clinics on the bay, if we don't get much rain over the next day or so and Sundays wind forecast stays the same maybe we could have an informal clinic. Keep an eye on this post and future 'Where are you Windsurfing this Weekend' posts.

Refer to the extract from BOM forecast below for Port Philip Bay.

Local Waters Forecast for Port Phillip
Issued at 5:13 am EDT on Friday 18 February 2011

Forecast for Saturday
Winds: Northeast to northwesterly 15 to 25 knots tending westerly around midday then becoming southwesterly 10 to 15 knots later in the evening. Seas: 0.5 to 1.5 metres.

Forecast for Sunday
Winds: West to southwesterly 10 to 15 knots tending south to southwesterly 15 to 20 knots during the afternoon then easing to 10 to 15 knots at night. Seas: 0.5 to 1 metres.


Please note; this is not a WV event and this post is to be used as information only. The intent of this post is for windsurfers to post where they could be going to windsurf this weekend and for other windsurfers to possible come and join them.

also be aware of the BRW triathlon at elwood on sun morning. Elwood to Middle Park is likely to be hectic and possibly shut down.

The've just cancelled the swim leg of the BRW due to "poor" water quality. So be aware of the crud if you're planning on sailing in the area.

Geez I hope it doesn't blow on Sunday morning. Nothing worst that doing the BRW (again, for the 14th or so time) and running past my favourite spot at Pt Ormond wishing I was sailing rather than running.

Wouldn't have thought the forecast was particularly good for 5m boats!

I sailed at Bonbeach Saturday in the NW and then the West. A great and big day. Sunday once again on the 5m at Mount Martha and the last night at Bonbeach with the 5.3m.

I did a great 5 hours at Mornington on Saturday and 4.5 at Pt. Leo on Sunday. There was a great turn out at Leo.

This Swan Bay Saturday. Weather stations either side had winds to 45-50knots. Here most of the sailing was done on sail around 4.5. Did settle later to a steady 25-30 which was a bit more bearable.
