We're up at Burrum Heads to try our hand at the speed run but from the forecast, since "clockwise winds" are expected, I think we made a good choice bringing the freestyle gear too:
Fraser Island Waters, Sandy Cape to Double Island Point:
A Gale Warning is current.
Monday until midnight: Winds: NW to NE 30 to 40 knots. Seas: 3 to 4 metres. Swell: E to SE 3 to 4 metres. Moderate to heavy rain areas, isolated thunderstorms.
Tuesday: Winds: Clockwise around low at 35 to 45 knots. Seas: 4 to 5 metres. Swell: E to SE 3 to 4 metres. Scattered showers, areas of rain, isolated thunderstorms.
Wednesday: Winds: S to SE 25 to 33 knots.
Thursday: Winds: S to SE 20 to 30 knots.
Wednesday and Thursday sound unreal, spewing I couldn't make it this year! Hope the wind holds on for the event.
so ive been watching the wrong charts bumma
sounds like you need a gustbuster up there, looks like i should have gone ![]()
yeah, it's the we got no idea forecast. ![]()
i think that's the boms way of saying it's probably going to be a cyclone.
but as sausage points out, this all depends on where the low moves to.
fingers crossed it moves north. that is the best possible outcome for strong winds.
southerlies head to the the main run.
if it get east in it then head to the northern run over near burrum point.
it appears our friend may be the victim of wind shear if i'm reading this right. will be interesting to see what happens from here.
the rotation is still there but weak now. fingers crossed it moves north into better conditions.
if we get alot of east in the wind the northen run sould be great, i think this spot really is the best anyway, today looks good
i spoke with sausage at burrum tody.
water is flat and about 16 people out this arvo on the run. some crashes today and some broken gear. ![]()
