    Weather is not looking flash for this weekend (again), but with a little luck we will be getting hit by a High the next weekend.. At this stage Saturday is looking the best (its a pretty long-range forecast so that could change)..

    4-6ft face on the West, and maybe 2ft on the east, with a light Easterly.

    I haven't been in the surf since Queen's Bday weekend, withdrawal has well set in... Definately time for a decent ride with a few numbers.

    Mid-winter so be sure to follow fashions seen last year of boardies and no suit / vest / gloves / boots... You know what I'm talking about.

    Seriously, if that high is going to miss the weekend I'm taking a day off - if anyone else is keen.

    Looks like that high might be getting here a little early.. :roll: Some time between Tues and Thurs is looking the best.. Followed by rain for the weekend.

    Maybe clear up on Sunday for a bit but wind could still be an issue.
