I grabbed some photos at Liptons Mandurah yesterday, high tide but good wind, only a few going into the bay while I was there.

Yes, great photos Firie. All those years of hiding in the bushes with a camera are certainly paying off
After seeing Stropoo in action, I am feeling a bit sorry for all the mast manufacturers
Great shots and sailors. Wow look at the sail twist with Stroppo!
As a lightweight I don't think I get much at all ?
Great shots Firie.....fantastic ! You've picked very capable sailors in the view finder.
The runaway Strop train is indeed an awesome sight ....it seems to require no effort on his part....how does that happen ?
I know for a fact that the Skipper carries a slice of Dot's magic cake in that backpack. Yum.
Hey, Stroppo, I've had a word with the powers that be and I'm hoping to negotiate a sponsorship for you with Schick.
Quattro obviously. You're looking a little gnarly!
A west south west is also OK over the other side at Pt Grey. Anything from the east is great fun, ESE is about onshore, so there's long runs all the way to Ward Pt, but there tends to be the wind shadow of Pt Grey half way along.
From Busso, Glory holes is the closest. A lot depends on the tide/storm surge. If it's too high it will be choppy, but if it's low the northern end can be a lot of fun. Next along the line is Heron Pt, same goes there, too much water it's choppy.
If the tide/storm surge is really high then South Yunderup is also a possibility.
Given the forecast is West then moving through to SW. Should I come up or stay at glory holes. If Geo Bay isn't too rough that's my last option
You're looking at a different forecast to me, I'm seeing WNW swinging to W.http://wind.willyweather.com.au/wa/peel/point-grey.html
wind.willyweather.com.au/wa/south-west/australind.html
But Sunday is a long way off, anything can happen between now and then
Australind on Sunday and i might come up for a morning blast on monday.
WSW is the forecast, where do i go & anyone around for a session?

WSW is probably Pt Grey, but if it turns Westerly it's a long upwind, off shore, tack back.
An all dayer does sound good though.
Maybe Fangys or Novara? not so hard getting back in a westerly.
