Nor Wester is building up here in Nelson Bay region @ 11:15.
Pretty gusty at present but feels like it could fill in.

Pretty small swell at present but moving due south so if there's going to be any swell getting in anywhere, it will be straight south facing beaches.

Will post an update when it kicks and possible shots from Birubi for those considering the drive up.

sailed 2:30 to 3:30 in Sydney... just as I was about to rig a 5.3 it kicked in. 4.2 maxed out. around 3 it must have been solid 45 and more in the gusts. For about 5 minutes the water was flying horizontal. Gusty as hell though.
