dave < technically no, as you could sail beach to beach, and waves will be tiny

I would but I'm going away dirt bike riding for the weekend. Doesn't look like a lot of wind though.

When you say beach to beach Justin do you mean Kirra to NZ??? (Just joking - I may try it next year!!!)

Have to come up and try Kirra sometime. FWIW Byron Bay was fun this arvo. Going beach to beach from the wreck to the inside of the pass. Wind was NNW 15-20kn. Meant to be windier tomorrow.

How was Kirra today?

Fully powered in Byron today on a 6m. It was awesome! Had to be careful to dodge the turtles though. So many out there.

Ezric got stronger as the day went on started on a 7.8 on slalom gear but could have gone smaller later

Thanks for the update Vando. Sounds like it was plenty windy there too.

It was so choppy/rough in Byron I couldn't imagine the slalom gear would have been much fun(but I'm not much good). Is it any smoother up at Kirra?

I have had a 20 year break from windsurfing and back then I was in Vicco(Torquay), only. It's going to take a while to try the spots up this way but looking forward to it. So far I have tried Ballina River, Flat rock and Shearwater in the southerlies. I have only tried Byron so far in the Northerlies.

Yer it was chopped up a fair bit, smaller gear would have been easier bring on Spring

first 30 mins was a bit iffy, but it was a good 15-20 for the arvo after that

unfortunately there is no gutter and quite deep everywhere at the moment. usually you get a nice flat section behind a bar for speed and a run up at the ramps

one of the better gutters. Sometimes it runs from the groin all the way to the southern end of tugun for a 1.5k blast. The best one was just before the huge winds and waves that chew away the gc beaches around 2010-2011 and left narrow neck looking like a cliff.

I've got the late arvo off so I'm going to make the pilgrimage to Kirra. I'm trusting it will look something like this only with more wind and more beach babes.

Good luck at kirra today guys!

I'm sick as a dog but it's blowing 20+knot average windspeed here in the bay so I think I'll head out after lunch regardless.

Was pretty good. Windy enough but the shore break was a bit hectic. Was totally Nigelled though which made water starting out the back a bit scary.
