With a forecast of NW winds 20-30 knots for both tomorrow and Saturday, then yes. Worth the trip I think mate.
A forecast like this for Greens really doesn't get much better!!

Hey Southerners

The forecast is holding, so fuel the vans, pack the gear, take some ANGRY pills and be ready to hit the road in the morning...okay, keep the angry pills until AFTER you get to Greens...

Bell boy Thursday conditions very good side shore 3/4 mast)my first hour very rusty (sh..) spent to much time sorting out straps , outhaul and getting rid of wetsuit boots(waters warm up there no need for them)then 15mins getting smashed in shore break and cutting leg on fin after another 30mins to work out wavetake off
zone the wind eased and I got a couple good ones before it was time to leave will hopefully take the right gear out next time and do better but I guess this why we love wavesailing

Awesome day today at Bell Buoy. Great wave riding and another huge back loop by Felix. Good to have Flouro pop his bell cherry. Good luck at greens tomorrow. Hopefully it holds for a sat morning session too.

I've never heard of so many fin cuts in less than a week.

Not a
very bad cut , no doctor needed
But this sport is a health risk if you
aren't in 100% control of gear ,when sailing
in new environments ,which is impossible
when sailing in the ocean (fear = fun)

Brilliant day at Greens we must have stacked in close to four hours for me on shore sailing doesn't get much better than that though the northern boys say it wasn't too bad could be better......sh.t they're spoilt.

Can't wait to sail Greens tomorrow

Looking forward to tomorrow. Should be solid most of the day.

I'm heading up in the morning. Have to be back after lunch. Might get crowded. See you all there...

Teachers working is the total opposite of Retirees looping! One of them never happens no matter how much effort they put in!!!!!!!!!!

Greens was fun. Had a good 3+ hours on the water before my hands decided enough was enough. Usual crew, greenie, felix and Geoff. It was very on shore with some good jumping.
