Here is Seacliff Monday arvo... about as big as it gets, but no beach, howling almost straight onshore, no one around => no obvious way of getting out in it... Did anyone make it? What about Snappers?
I went to snappers around 5pm Monday to check out the tide, still high enough to sail just a bit dark. Pissing down so didn't get out the car.
I know Gareth, Ty and Chris had a quick sail in the morning.
I had two good sails yesterday, Snapper in the morning and Seacliff late arvo.
Seacliff was hard work Monday. 20 to 50 knots. Too onshore to get decent jumps and a big shorey.
Gave up on Seacliff.................went to Palais .............solid 4.2m late arvo with nice ramps.
Did both. Variable winds. Sems North was better. Did Sem South yesterday. Scored a few good runs but wind was all over the place. Hopefully this system can deliver something more stable soon!

Looks like the front coming tomorrow is going to be just as crazy.
Kurt, can I borrow your 3.3m?
Hey Ian - if its a straight northerley in morning Seaford / triggs could be goin orf - I 'm up for a quick dawn sail if it looks any good if ya keen
just saw the forecast => mid coast may end up looking better before it goes nuts down south ... won't be there at dawn, but not toooo late (I'm an old bloke now remember ...)
I'm working Friday, will be sailing Saturday and Sunday. Tide is looking a bit low .75 for Aldinga.
Morning update: Was pretty windy at Seaford cross shore Nthly and some good size lumps with underlying 2 foot + swell from sunrise - severely o/powered on a 5.7 but it was fun - Cain and G. Mitton were still blasting and getting some waves when I left
and then it went ballistic... totally over-powered on 4m2!! Max and Richard at U-turns a bit later...
