Whats going on with the wind its a nice breeze but its going the WRONG way damn Easterly,
Why does it do this when I have a new toy ready and waiting geez haha
Hah!! That explains it.
Sunday - crap weather cause someone arranged a mass downwinder.
This week - crap weather cause Timmy's got new gear.
never fails
Umm you mean Easterly???
Might be different where you are but in Freo it's definately coming from the East!!!
OOooohhh i'm feeling you on this one!
I've had such bad luck with the wind this season. Seems to be howling most days, but seems to go sht when i'm not at work or kung-fu.. Got three weeks off work, been soooo lucking forward to it . First week off n the wind is rubbish. I go away next week to Darwin. so you can expexct it to get good again then =/
It's caused by the low cell just off the coast. As another high moves across from the west then the boosted south sea breezes will return. The winds spiral anticlockwise out of the highs then clockwise into the lows. Watch it all unfold on the BoM websites interactive map. Sea temperatures can influence how far south these lows move in Summer. This year they appear to be moving further south, possibly corresponding with a La Nina pattern.
It was fully insane at Point Walter this afternoon. If you're new toy was a 5m kite you'd have been set. Tons of guys on 7s packing it in and heading for home.
yeah the point was banging,
on a '9' fully depowered, final knot, 90kgs and barely holding on for grim death!
you gotta love the crazy gusterly easterlies!!
I would rather wait for the South Wester's to return... There are way to many jelly fish an twin tippers at Point walter
Nothing wrong with Easterlies....had an interesting sess. with a couple of wild guys up Gero. way on Sat.......... great time, thanks guys, too bad about my board
I really enjoyed kiting through the spray coming off the top of the waves.....mad
We hit Pt Walter early around 7....using 11 and 12m kites. Waiting and waiting for the Easterly to pick up. Finished around 11. It was the first time I have kited there before, even jumped the sand bar a couple of times. Fun place to kite.
Hey guys, I'm coming back to Perth from Brisbane from the 24th till the 1st, so I send my deepest apologies to you all for the sub 10 knot winds that Sir Murphy of Law will bestow apon you all on my behalf.
I fly back in the 27th for a week and had three new kites sitting waiting for me, so expect no wind for that wind
