OK, I've taken data from BOM, Gold Coast Seaway.
Used the 'Other Formats', 'Other Times & Places' links:
www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo/200704/html/IDCJDW4050.200704.shtml

I used the wind speed as of 3pm and collaborated into these pretty graphs. No real surprises except the average Westerly at 18 knots. I was looking for a hole around the 5.7m sail range, didn't find:







I've got the raw data here if anyone wants to re-use it
(Some formulas didn't upload by looks of it and are missing)

Hey, do you have a scan for "Laurie"? Wow, you're like the Jesus of the forums. I even hid "Laurie" way at the bottom of my post, and you heard it. Wow.

errr... yeah. How did I miss that? Blonde moment, must be from the sun over the weekend, haven't seen that for a while.

Can you make more green arrows too? I bet you get that joke all the time.
