It's going to be cloudy all day with a chance of some drizzle... as usual when we're off work.
And there's going to be a piss week easterly this afternoon.

So unless you've got a door for a board, and >16m you'll be better off playing with the PS3/Xbox/Dog...



Sure that Bright Sun and that nice green arrow look great, BUT THEY AINT REAL... SO wake up and look at the damn clouds.

Looking out my window the weather seems to be doing exactly as predicted, except for the sunny bit!!!!!!
Mostly seabreeze is very accurate for Sydney, although the airport wind meter lies to us a bit, especially in lighter east and NE conditions.
The meters are reading about 8-10 knots east at the moment and thats what it looks like from here.
BUT grey sky no sun at all!

Hi KP
Do you have a meter on the roof of the shop?

Maybe the trees across the road would shield it too much.
It would provide a nice amount of hits on your website if it was accurate.

Flysurfer - id give up on it for today, even if that one green arrow does appear - I will come down, pump up my kite and scare it away :)
Could be worse - i'm working!

The roof is quite sheltered by the trees across the road, not sure it would be worth the effort, plus our roof is a pain to get up onto for maintenance. I hear ya about the site hits, but if the weather station is not accurate due to sheltering its a lot of effort for not much result.

Same with a camera, not a wide enough view of the water through the trees, I can tell whats going on but I cannot see any kiters unless they are kiting directly opposite us.
