Hey all, what can you typically expect from winter wind wise? This doldrum business is getting me depressed.... was out on Sunday in the morning and we had a few fun gusts, but it didn't do anything great till the arvo and I missed it :(
Does winter usually throw some big winds? Northerlies right?
Am desparate to learn how to use my straps...... and spell.
Has anyone got so desparate that they resorted to voodoo to bring on more wind?
Not sure about the voodoo stuff, but had a great time sailing Northerlies last Winter, especially down at Rye. Looking forward to the first session down there this winter!
last winter we had 2-3 months solid with every weekend of 20knot NW-W down this way. We even began to whinge about missing our bigger gear toward the end....
Yes last winter was awesome, as red says, I sailed just about every weekend on my 5.0 or smaller in the northerlies, sometimes even on both Sat and Sun of that weekend........waiting........waiting........
We all neeed to find a new hobby, I think, like flying rc choppers, st lugeing, chasen girls, go-carting, down hill mtbing, sking, snowboarding, cooking ect..
Autumn is now over any way so we all should be celebrating.
one thing I have noticed tho, it seems alot warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's why we are getting no wind.
And K Dog! keep it real man! and the wind might just come back!
Yep, it was a week from now, last year when I managed to get 5 days of 20-30knots in a row. Just about on Uni. holidays so hoping for some good weeks ahead.

according to this July is windiest...
I'm not sure cos I've had one winter here but it was last winter and it was awesome
Perhaps Northerlies only seem the most common winds because that is when it is pumping enough for a good sail. With 16hours of 5knot SW wind and 8hours of 25knots N wind record as predominantly SW for that day?
Either way I definately got most of my good sails last winter in a north wind at Rye.
Talk to us windjunky tell us all whats happend to the wind????? please dude when is going to be windy again, we all want answers???
I am hoping its ground hog winter season - complete repeat of last year.... just putting it out there.... weather gods got internet?
Hobbies.... hmm.... if I keep playing computer games I am going to look like Cartman when he played WOW online for days on end....
Lights on at night at the Elwood skate bowl?
