I have to look out of the window to see if there is any wind If there is we will go down there.

At a guess it's currently about 12-17kts NE at Coogee with a few small whitecaps beginning to appear. I sacrificed myself by agreeing to go to the Randwick races today. Hope you appreciate my selfless deed...

Some sparse wind data here:

60 guys & gals out sailing around Kyeemagh today.
Great arvo sail , broke a boom

Thanks for the lend of the brand spankin' carbon boom Mike....very tempting

Yes a very pleasant day on the bay. Quite a lot of windsurfers out too. I counted over forty windsurfers on the water during the afternoon, not including those on the beach.

Plenty of people out learning too.

The graphs are working again too!

Yes and there was a big roll out at Narrabeen Lake from the sound of it.

I guess you are the one i saw on saturday and stopped by to see if you needed more help. As there were already two jet-ski helping you and attempting to drag you to the beach, i didn't have to help. It's worth mentioning, most of the jet-ski are actually nice people. Saturday all of them were quite reasonable from what i remember.

No, not me this time. Mine snapped on way out - so had other side still intact to get back in.
His was an old boom ready to snap, mine about 3 yrs old.

But there has been another occasion a couple of years back where a jet skier did give me a hand rescuing gear.
We do tend to lump them all in the one basket based on appearance - but a lot of them are decent water users

Is this the worst start to a season ever or what?
I thought last and the one before was bad but this tops them all.

you need to travel a bit more... while not stelar the South Coast has certainly delivered more than last season. Don't forget that just 2 hours South you can find flat water, bump and jump as well as waves with some very consistent Seabreezes.

When I still lived in Europe we would drive 400ks ever weekend just to get 3 hours of thermal winds on a lake. I have to pinch myself sometimes to remember how good we really have it here.
