I always laugh when the WA crew say that have had a crap season, try living on the East Coast! ...Another corker week! and this is just for Perth, sure its even better to the Nth...And yes I know a good week is 25knts every day, not dropping below 20, you may not be able to use sub 6m sails all week, just some of it!!,
That is a great forecast!
Very jellybags here! Enjoy, baT$%!@S
Dude it is looking nothin like that in reality.
Today's forecast 20-25kn, I got out late on 100L and 6.1 bagged out - just got out. I reckon it was 15-18 and not much of the 18kn trust me.
And this is my biggest gear. It is all related to what u are used to. As most seasons are better I have smaller gear so for the 1 in 5 (ish) bad years it is frustrating. Yeah I can go buy big gear also, but a $3K investment for just the bad years is lunacy.
I think it's expectations versus reality. I have had awesome sessions in very light winds where I managed to sail against expectations of the forecast. I have had crappy sails in moderate winds when I expected strong winds based on the forecast. I can only take so much gear with me - I don't have a van - so there are occasions when I can't make the most of the conditions cause I haven't brought the right kit.
Yes its all relative.
After a cool, grey and wet Sydney summer the sun coming out for a little while is a blessing. However the bright sun hurts my eyes and it gets a bit hot, ie 23 degrees.
Who owns sails over 6m? Do they even make them? 
. My biggest sail is a 5.7.
I agree with you in that it "is a great forecast". But the problem it is never as strong as they forecast at the beach
There is a big difference between the seabreeze forecast and what actually happens. I think they exaggerate on the side of more wind to get our hopes up so we keep checking the site. The forecast more closely applies to offshore waters, at the beach it is a lot less and on the river less still. 20 - 25 knots at Rottnest is often only 12 - 15 on the river, or less!
btw the graph you posted is the best forecast we have had in ages.
Did you see last week's graph?
You guys should try riding your bike into the seabreeze on the way home from work. Always seems stronger than predicted I reckon!
I got used to looking at the Lancelin forecast on here, to which you could (almost) always add a few knots, I suspect the computer modelling didn't take into account the BoM anemometer being stuck on a 10m tower behind a norfolk pine and a shed?
Now we seem to be getting weather data from the new wind farm north of town, and near live readings on the BoM radar screen. Now when the Seabreeze arrows show it's marginal, it really is marginal
