that is a huge east coast swell prediction... where will hold that sort of swell with a southerly wind?

Can't make the east coast, family commitments. What would Cremorne Points be like Saturday for a wavesail there?

Smallish at 3ft forecast for clifton,pure south is the right direction for the wind might be worth a look at low tide around 1,30pm (.4m)

Clarky you are a cruel pr.ck oh and why don't you come over to the east coast, I suppose you don't even know where it is.................. go to Bell Buoy then turn right, keep driving till you hit the sea.................that is the east coast, you might think you need a passport to go that far but that's a myth.



I'm still keen for Saturday if you're going up

Swellnet observation at Scamander 6-8 ft +, probably not that big on lower east coast.
Heading off shortly,check out Shelly Point (Orford)for a surf then head up the coast.

Believe it or not it was 3/4 mast today on the take off at times on the outside point!
Everyone had fun. Tomorrow looks the same, most likely go up again tomorrow
Not the best photos to show the action but the east coast has potential!
God bless and get to bed everyone for tomorrow

sailed at kelvedon today. Fickle 15 knots inside. Tricky getting out the back where the winds was solid and swell was too. Suspect swell will be good again tomorrow. Not sure about wind. Had a 100 l board an 5.5. Only just enough to get out.

Kelvedon - big swell, but tough getting thru the shorebreak even at the south end

Kelvedon is definitely the spot with a southerly wind and 3m swell ...............if my leg wasn't busted I would have been out there.........sorry guys I just can't make excuses for you

Isn't it Buxton Point (some surfers call it the chicken run). Kelvedon is the beach, are you sailing the beach or point

that's a good question buzzy, on the map its called Shelly Point. Buxton point is the one south of Mayfield.

Anyway I wanted to sail the point, there was a good break off it. but mostly ended up swimming in the shorebreak

Hard to repeat fridays sail Ant,
Not up to scratch for us yesterday, It was only about 10-12 knots when we drove back and could see out over the bay. I think it that size swell you really would need to be full on planing to be able to point up wind to be able catch the waves on the point.
I can imagine- Sail out , end up a bit down wind, Try and point up too the point, get caught out by a big 3/4 mast one with no wind on the face , PUSHED INTO ROCKS AND

BREAK THE LEG!!!

The point at Buxton, not the beach.
