tending south to southwesterly 10 to 15 knots at night. Seas: 0.5 to 1 metres.
I'm so down on the lack of wind this summer so far!
Yep lack of wind is getting frustrating, made worse by the fact that when there is wind i'm rostered to work... I don't think i have any more sick days either now
(I used my last one for forty minutes worth of kiting at rosebud on wednesday)
Dunno where your getting that forecast from, this is the Port Phillip local waters forecast... seems better
