For those keen on seeing the local wind... See Graphs/Vic/Westcoast
Also from Bom website Wind Rose for FEB.
Cheers
Comp area from today. About a 8knot cross on shore wind and small swell. Still very kiteable and to get a idea look at the people on the beach for swell size. As I said this is what we term as a flat day.
Ah yer - look at that.
Brings a lump to my throat !
Only thing missing is a few whales
And hes not joking folks. For Logans that is a VERY small break. Usually get your outer break happening way out in the blue section.
Gonna be an epic kitewave comp if the conditions come off. And the spectator sport from the dunes will make it top rate for everyone.
The wind came in stronger yesterday and most of the SWKK we out having a ball in 15 to 18knots. The swell was on the increase all day. Its all looking good for feb. I got a good feeling and been putting out good vibes and if all else fails I have a kite to burn as a sacrifice to Huey.
hey jas, can i put my name down for the cheap train ticket.. also how do i go about booking a night or two at the caravan park, lookin for a cabin... coming down on the 1st feb - is it easy to get to the beach from the caravan park? from wat date will the comp bus be running?
cheers, looking forward to it
I will be arriving in Melbourne early Sunday morning, picking up a campervan then cruising down along the coast, hoping to do a bit of surfing & kiting along the way.
I usually go for warmer areas so have never travelled down that stretch, I'm hoping for a surf at places like Bells etc but is there any out of the way spots I should be visiting for wavekiting or surfing?, PM me if you don't want to tell the world, your secret place is safe with me.
I will be travelling solo so if there is anyone else heading down around the same time that wants to hook up for a session or two along the way get in touch.
