Looks like there's a few sailors interested in heading up to Marrawah for Easter.
Last year was a washout with rain every day and easterly winds, let's hope we get a good forecast this time.
Forecast needs to be S-SW or NE if it's W or NW it's too on shore and obviously esterlies are no good.
For anyone who's never sailed there it's definitely worth the experiene, its world class when the weather behaves.
For a start Brett, Jordon, Fos and I planning to go...anyone else?
experiene
It's even a good experience.
Last time we organised going to marrawah for a wekk we ended up at Sundowners and Stanely where the only sails we got up north in a week.
This time I've got a SUP to take care of the dull droms
Can someone stop Ant when he gets there? I've heard he sometimes overshoots the mark.
Is it be a suitable place for learners? I have a feeling there won't be any flat water on the Wild West?
Wow wowza!,
can be good for learners if dead flat!!. not really any 'learner' spots around Marrawah but if the wind comes in from the east/north east then Stanley is good.
Just a great spot to go.
Just take the Jp out in the waves and give it a crack
, OR get out in the waves and crack the jp!
im keen, especially if the forecast looks anything like this friday!!!!!!
BOL should be cranking with a 7 meter 17 second mummer rolling in and enough wind to blow Guido the patagonian tooth fisherman's milk into your tea.
keen?
Ha I'll be cracking the JP I reckon Damo. Might have to increase the size of the airbag at the front - perhaps I should rig a sail on an IRB?
Trons keen so we may be in!
BOL looking excellent for Sunday and Monday 8th- 9th
If the forecast holds I'll be heading up Sat afternoon, good to get back into the waves

I'll be staying for Tuesday if it looks ok, hopefully someone will be round to sail with me. Monday & Tuesday for me, fingers crossed the forecast holds for then.
I'm staying at Corrina Fri & Sat, if forecast holds out may take a drive up to Marrawah from there for Monday sailing.
I wont commit but I could be a chance. If the forecast holds or gets better there maybe quiet a few good options of places to sail
SW, SSW, WSW are all good directions for Marawah. and W can be great fun at Greens. NWand N are crap. NE, ENE can be ok but gusty and very swell dependant.
Jez with SW, WSW there are no better options than heading to Marawah. This post is for Marawah...... there is no other option
Ill be Nth west for the easter long weekend (Fri to Tues)
If the weather is good I'll be sleeping in the van where ever the conditions are best
Maybe Sunday back to Burnie
Buzzy you stay at home and leave BOL to me and Nick
Nick took this nice little film of our last trip....after a great session at BOL we got out the tin dish and caught a few flatties
Brett looks like you might get a northeasterly with a bit of swell could be good at Greens
there will be an awesome long period wave coming thru thursday... if there is enough wind firday NE the bluff reef might beckon!
i am also riding the forecast and planning to head for sum mon sailing... not sure swell will be big enough for BOL,
but if it goes around ssw, there will be heaps of swell for bluff or netleys
also looks pretty good for a sw and a smaller sized wave for those not looking to break their neck
its all shaping up for a classic easter, after a few doldrums events
get pumped
