Re: Sandbanks Sept 18
Had a good session @ dunes on West Lake yesterday. All to myself and it was pretty decent. Gusty from that direction, but I was out for a good couple hours and only switched down to the surfboard for maybe 15 min.
Dead onshore, but I made it to about mid lake.
Have fun. If I can make it, I'll pm you.

Re: Sandbanks Sept 18
what weather forecast do you guys look at ??
I look at the weather network, and windguru, and a couple others, and the forecasts for Sandbanks are ranging from 8 to 13 knots at best. What am i missing ?

Re: Sandbanks Sept 18
Well considering its currently 25 mph over there, I'd say your missin something!
From here on in, I'm taking Hiero's word for it anyway. It's in his skill set.

Re: Sandbanks Sept 18
The winds should drop a bit around noon, before picking back up, cool NW winds mix well to the surface (hence gusty conditions).
I'll post an update on the afternoon winds after 10am when the new model data comes out.
Best bet will be in evening - but bring the wetsuits!

Re: Sandbanks Sept 18
The nw winds still look good. A bit lighter flow showing up in the early afternoon, but I think this is being underplayed - I'm thinking they will jack up mid afternoon, strongest in the evening.
Either way, I'm heading there this afternoon!

Re: Sandbanks Sept 18
Thanks Bill !
maybe you could post here if new data changes things before you head out. I hate to drive out there and get skunked. You going to Outlet or the North beach ?
