Yeah, about three months late, summer has arrived. Maybe autumn 2012 will be one to remember.

Green is good, shame about the (lack of) swell.

gerroa might be < 5.0m on Sunday but schooner high waves. maybe worth looking around the 'gong with some wind-swell?

Pretty flat here in the gong too, might be some wind swell late this arvo. Freestyle time at Gerroa though, flat as

My bet is for Shoalhaven hears Sunday or if it's windy enough Werri beach could be on.

Given it's a North Easter wind swell I have my doubts it will get into Gerroa. Usually anywhere around the gong is better in those conditions.

Best hope for a good swell and north easter combo is next weekend. The sustained 3 days of southerly should bring a nice ground swell up from the south. In theory there is a high in the bight already waiting to move into the Tasman after the southerly has gone through.

Next weekend me says mild ECL 1008 forming Thursday off NSW north coast tracking SE to NZ and intensifying blocking the high in the bight and bringing good E to SE swell with S to SE winds.

given what the past 4 months have been like you are probably 100% on the money.

Yes, put off windsurfing yesterday as the green arrows were way better for today. Got out the 111 instead of the 145 and was really looking forward to the workout.

Based on what happened last Sunday, or more appropriately what did not happen, we should all plan a day of home maintenance this Saturday.

Instead of talking about something that I shouldnt be talking about ill talk about next weekend. I use BOM's 10 day forecast as well as seabreeze. Heres the link if anyones interested.
www.weatherzone.com.au/models/?lt=wzcountry&lc=aus&mt=accessg&mc=mslp&mh=-1&mso=12
It does help and can be reasonably accurate sometimes.
As for northeasters before then,fingers crossed.

Can't see any seabreeze noreasters there Teabaggin. But we might as well extrapolate from Saturday the 10th and say Sunday the 11th is looking good! If we get a noreaster Sunday week you can say "I told you so".

Got out for a few hours at Gerroa....real light nor'easter, non-planing conditions. Sub 10 knots most of the time and a struggle to waterstart my 5.8. Still good fun with some chest to overhead high waves. Got punished a fair bit as the wind just died every time I was heading out through the impact zone.....No one speak of the forecast ever again.

Finally got a sail in. O.k it wasn't the greatest wind in the world. The sun was shining and one could comfortly hang off the sail for 2hours. This was using 111 and 7.5 sail. Just nice to be out and not having rain coming down.

Kyeemagh was amazingly good, with a 20-25kt NE out of nowhere and some nice sun... Didn't last too long (i'd say 2-4pm), but it was definitely the best we had in more than a month.... (or is it since the 5th of january?)

But don't worry, everything is back to normal now: rain, cold, clouds.

Where do you go windsurfing on a NE wind? Brisbane Waters or somewhere else?

Went out at Long Reef yesterday and sailed Butterbox with Tim and Townie - was great for the first 30 minutes with set waves in the logo high range. Then the wind went completely and we all had a 45 minute swim in! This was about 3pm - way before it dropped off elsewhere.

Shame, thought it was going to be great!

well done getting out at longy Ben. it looked pretty light, DY was reading only 11 knots on the coastalwatch site and 19 knots at wanda. the difference still amazes me. I'm not sure where they read from but wanda looked pretty decent.

longy 'had potential' as always.

North harbour was pretty decent through the afternoon and didn't have that drop-off you got out at Long Reef captain. Left at 5pm and it still looked OK.

Still, if you did that 45min swim on a regular basis you could maybe get down to the sort of weight that you actually need to chase waves in NSW.....

Not at about 1pm, was out with just mike right in front of the green hills carpark, nice bank there.

sure there were quite a few windsurfers later and one pest life guard in a rubber ducky.
