Hello Mister Stehsegler.

Would it be possible, kind sir, that, with the help of your good friends at Wind, Surf nSnow, that you may be able to organise a WebCam, which will save you from having to take all these photos that you so graciously post on this forum on a regular basis.

Thanking you

working on it already...

... still building a rig and waiting for some parts to arrive so I can mount it with a clear view of the break. This will probably also include wind speed and direction.

Stay tuned...

That would be awesome. While'st I am a vicco, I try to get to Gerroa twice a year for a couple of weeks of good sailing, love the place

Great work on the daily pics Stehsegler, I really enjoy seeing it every morning..Keep it up mate

forgot to mention... the wind ended up getting up to about 12 or so knts. and waves ended up in the 2 to 3 foot range. I went out for a quick sail around 4pm but it mostly a cast of dogging out and catching a wave on the way in. Not great but better than sitting in the office and working.

I was told it was quite a bit better around 2 pm. Looking at the weather for tomorrow I'd say we should get similar conditions with a little bit more wind. Report to come first thing tomorrow morning.

PS: For anyone driving down this way please drive carefully on the stretch between Kiama and Gerringong. We have had a number of serious accidents in the past few weeks... a serious accident happened late this afternoon with a P plater ramming into another car. Not sure of the details but the P platers car was in pretty bad shape.

Just a little warning to Stehsegler. Gerroa can get extremely crowded in Summer, post the reports at your own risk of crowding. Last few years on days when the sets come every 10 minutes or so it can be hard to get a wave with all the windsurfers out, dodging the long boarders, bunny hoping the backpackers learning to surf, swimmers etc.

Now I am in canberra your reports are very welcomed, but it will get frustrating for you, when everyone arrives to Gerroa. Alot of the times people wouldn't know that its on unless you posted the report.

Anyway, keep them coming this summer but I'll be back next summer so you can stop then

When you compare the numbers of surfschool punters, general swimmers ,and longboarders I don't think the numbers of sailors is going to be the problem. You should speak to waz about the conditions the surfschools are allowed to operate under, interesting details that are very handy to know.
