Blowing a hoolie

It's pretty windy out there today, and we have beaten the record gust speed of 44.2knots with a new all time record (since the weather station began recording (about a year ago) with a max gust speed of 45 knots.... Now that is proper wind!!

Shame I'm still too ill to get out there and play, which is beginning to annoy me as it has been windy all week and I've been missing out.

Winds looking good for tomorrow afternoon as well, should go pretty mad overnight as well. Hopefully I'll feel a bit better by then and be able to get out for a play... The swell should get pretty big tomorrow as well.

You are right Col, it was a great day at Blackrock.
I was with the crew at the top end of the Beach, you buzzed us a few times

Like you said, loads of wind & spaced out waves

It did get pretty windy at times didn't it, certainly not sun-bathing weather!.. Still, it sorts the men from the boys and there weren't many people around once the wind picked up!
