Decent old nor-easter blowing in Sydney this arvo.
Hope its a sign of things to come.
Good on anyone lucky enough to get out.
20 knots at airport, 23 at Kurnell and 15-18 on the north side.

I'll join that club, was perfect, nice wave, 23kts, left work rushed home threw stuff in the car, get to the beach...left extension at home! Rushed home, rushed back, pretty much dark now, rigged anyway and went out, wind dies....fail.

A good hour at wanda before the high tide gobbled the remaining waves up. Enough wind for a few jumps as well, bring on summer

Three of us sailed Nobbys. We reckoned the waveriding was as good as any day last year, head high south swell and smoother than normal. Wind was constant from at least 3.30pm - 6pm, I could have used a 5.0m.

Starting to turn west now and if were lucky it may get to forecast 20 or so before dark.

I have the van fully packed just in case!

No for Severne, No for improved and yes for the filming....It was a good day, A little light at times but still worth the effort. There were bigger wave a times but I was out sailing and missed catching it on camera. I tried some Severnes over the winter and just couldn't get use to them, I'm sticking with what I know for this season.

Thanks to all that got in front of the camera....Bring on SUMMER
