27 S – Fawkner Beacon Real Time Wind Observations

I was just sitting near the dock of the bay- watching the messy 20-30 knot northerly blow its hot breath southwards when all of a sudden a cool change came through- 30 knots of it from the WSW and not a cloud in sight to warn us of its’ approach. Amazing n’est pas?

I remember many of these changes from my windsurfing instructor days in the late 90s at Elwood beach. Often the wind would back to the SW with no warning- just like today. These breezes often hang on for a day or two- and certainly it means this evening promises to be fantastic for a windsurf/kite.

I am off for sure!!!

30 knots of WSW comes up the bay
