Wind isn't looking great for the weekend at the moment... Think I'll go to work instead.

That looks unlikely at the moment... Cold be a decent wind early in the mornings though. With temps around 0¬?C and sunny skies we could get a blast from the katabatic wind that bwill coincide with high tide in the estuary... Will be could though. Lucky if it gets above freezing at that time of day.

I'll be out at first light if the NE's kick in though, and then off to work to warm up!!!

Do a search for it on this site.... No doubt theres an explanation somewhere!

Its basically the opposite of an anabatic wind

andy katabatic winds are those that come from the higher ground to the low graound and are composed of cold air. in the summer you can get them rolling down the hills as the sun goes down,very dangerous when launching paragliders etc.
now if it does go katabatic on saturday morning in the estuary it could be well windy and great fun,so go there first! see you and look forward to seeing your new motorhome.

Its about 20 knots here at the mo, ENE. Think I'll give it a miss for today though as I've been working most of the day and still have a few things to sort out here.... I'm sure the rest will do me good.

Lets hope the wind holds out... its 25-30 knots out there at the moment!!!

I'll be out in the estuary for an early sesh if theres still wind in the morning. High tide is around 7am, so I shall be there then if theres wind.. See you on the water. The wind is forecast to go Northerly later but there could still be enough around if we're lucky.
