20 knot NE forecast for the Illawarra & possibly Newie with a decent southerly swell for Wednesday.

Sydney will probably be a struggling 15K.

good for August anyway.

Whether or not it will materialise, particularly now we've mentioned it, is unknown but i'm definitely taking Wednesday off work if it happens; it's been that long since I bloody sailed i'm going insane.

The forecast certainly looks like it could be a classic setup for Gerroa. Swell direction is right... tide is perfect...

I think the wind could be on the light side but who cares... anything would be a good thing.

Might have to clear Wednesday.

Let's hope for the weekend.

looks like the harbour hit 20 knots NNE for 30 minutes!

Sat/Sun/Mon southerly might be more reliable...

maximum number of surfers out at any one time at seven mile was 4. gutting
