Thanks for that Moby, it the law must hold true in the reverse. It is 18 knots S x W in Botany gusting to 25 right now on a Saturday in Botany. Pity I'm at work though.
I did get out at La per yesterday - conditions were light and variable, not great, but at least I was on the water, first time in a long while it seems.

Along with the sunshine...
You gotta take a little bit of rain....
Guys stop winging, Sydney is one of the best cities in the world. Even better if you have light wind gear, if you don't you forego the right to complain.
It ain't just the big smoke Karl. Look at this insperational week... Struggleville even with the big gear. Hanging for one decent southerly front.
Yeah Autumn usually sucks instead of blows.
Did a count of sessions this year so far and had 18 in January, 9 in February and 11 in March.
The winter decline is a comin'.
Ok Wineman I will fess up. It was me as well. Just got a new Starboard Atomic 110 6 weeks ago and have been itching to give it go. Hasn't even got wet yet!! There has only been a few days where I think I could of used it but work and family have been conspiring along with Huey. At least the surf has been good for the paddle board.
Well people I was out on the harbour yesterday admittedly on a yacht but what a day only needed 10 more knots to have made it a good day to windsurf. It would have been fine on a wally.
Still the wind will come back and then we will be bitchin about the cold.
At least the swell seems to have picked up
All got too much for me...marginal wind, but had to give it a go. 3 others were out at B bay. Still got on the plane here and there.

Lower end of the wind scale is just ruthless. 2 knots make a huge difference.

Yep 1.30hr yesterday in 5-10kts with occasional plane in 13kt puffs. Still a lovely day and nice day to be on the water and a good workout with the heavy sail..
Saturday's Southerly was hell choppy on Botany, but it was gusting up to 28Kts or more and kinda fun if you like a challenge. The 42cm fin that came with my new 115ltr rocket felt way, way, too big, so I had to do some retail therapy and now have some new smaller (30-38 cm) fins to try.
Looks like you could be having Canton for lunch this weekend Karl. PM me if you're heading up that way... I'm keen.
