Well somethings up when here we are less than two weeks till windfest and no-ones stuck their neck out with a wind prediction or a long range modelling analysis of a looming cyclone. What's going on you pack of girls (ka72 excepted) have a guess, have a stab in the dark. We really don't care who's right or wrong.....we just need to know who's going to be strung up if it all goes to shyte.
So go on, here's your thread....tell all

I guess if no one takes a speed board to the event and min sail size of 8m than it will probably be windy , but thats not going to happen , we can only hope for wind

The weather man can't predict the weather 1 day ahead so who knows am just going as its a nice place to go surely we will get some wind in the week I will be there.
Looks like a few people are going so there should be a few parties & drinking.
I am bringing all my gear to be prepared for any wind.

here you go

Mgo followed by a Ago

perfect water-skiing weather

Please note
I have no knowledge of the Burrum Location nor weather forecasting, this may have a slight bearing on the accuracy of this prediction

Okay, Burrum is the little inlet on Lat 25.2 S / Long 152.6E to the west of Fraser Is. Wind for 6am is indicated SE (white stream lines) at 18 -21knots (shaded grey). So not too bad at moment for Tuesday morning.

OK so plan B now firmly under foot, ie drinks shouted by all those budding weather analysts above who've given their wind predictions, just in case we're all sitting on the beach. Plan A at least has a chance.

ps I drink JD, in case PLan B is invoked

I've never used Optus for internet there, just mobile phone, and it didn't work on the waterfront (had to walk to the road for a good signal.)

Telstra 3G has been fine there when I've used it.
