jdhot Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Hi All, Just keep an eye on the SSE - ENE winds and low tides for 7 Mile NE'ers are out because the old river mouth has been reopened during the winter rain Giving only a couple of 100mtrs + all the holiday crowds to battle through So this week is great low tides and a few SE winds predicted Hope to cya there JD PS Windang is also a good choice for those directions too and a little closer to Sydney Quote
Tiger37 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks. Please post dates and meeting point when you decide to go and I will try and make it from Canberra. Quote
RobG Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 Just wondering how you access the beach at Windang? I have had a look on Google satellite maps, and it looks like a lifeguard station or something similar with a staff car park with X's painted on the ground at the access point to the beach? Can you park near there and cart your gear onto the beach from there? Any info welcome. Thanks - Rob Quote
jdhot Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Posted January 1, 2014 Hope tomorrow should be a goer at 7 Mile, will be aiming for a 2pm start Windang is accessible just as you said, go right up to the surf club, park there and wonder out onto the beach. Just do the right thing and stay away from the crowds, head north slightly. JD Quote
Tiger37 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 Where will you start john? Gerroa end or Shoalhaven heads? Quote
BobM Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 Hope tomorrow should be a goer at 7 Mile, will be aiming for a 2pm start Windang is accessible just as you said, go right up to the surf club, park there and wonder out onto the beach. Just do the right thing and stay away from the crowds, head north slightly. JD Working every day except weekends from now until Kingston BobM Quote
Tiger37 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 JD. Thanks for organising yesterday's session at 7 Mile Beach. It was good to meet you, Andy and Paul despite the winds being a little low and disappointing. At least I now know the location and it was great to have some long runs on the beach. Do please let me know when you are going again or even Windang and I'll try and join you. All the best. Quote
crazy Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 oh i can't believe i missed this... i've been going to 7 mile every other day over xmas new year and i didn't see this post Quote
jdhot Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Posted January 16, 2014 7 Mile or Windang this Sunday 19th Jan if conditions stay promising. Hope to see a few there, the usual guys will be going JD May have to be changed to Monday, strong southerlies are no good for 7 Mile as it turns SW straight up the beach Monday is predicted SSE Quote
crazy Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 let me know where you end up going, ill be down there this weekend, also a side note is the forecast for 7 mile isnt the most accurate.... ive been there when the report sais 10knot ESE and its burning through northerly at 25+ Quote
RobG Posted January 18, 2014 Report Posted January 18, 2014 The wind map is showing Southerlies today. http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/1000hPa/orthographic=-206.70,-31.91,1995 Cheers - Rob Quote
jdhot Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 Mates and I are heading to Windang tomorrow for 4pm start Winds looking currently good for 7 Mile but if wind increases it will go S-SW JD Quote
RobG Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 Wind looks good for 7 mile. Perpendicular to onshore I would head down there were it not for the fact I have to take my wife to an appointment for a 'stress test' - whatever one of those is. Maybe one day... Cheers - Rob Quote
crazy Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 it was almost perfect at 7 mile yesterday, winds at around 10 - 12k ESE, the only downer was that it dropped to less than 6knots fairly quickly and i didnt have a bug enough kite to put up in the low winds Quote
jdhot Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Posted January 20, 2014 Well it seems I should have gone yesterday instead of today (rain) but I did however earn serious brownie points with the wife [attachment=0]20140119_192143[1].jpg[/attachment] Looks like the picture won't upload properly, but I finished of the paving and now have a free pass to buggy time Hope to meet up with you guys soon JD Quote
crazy Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 ill probably be down at 7 mile this weekend - most likely monday - haven't checked the forecast yet but here is hoping Quote
jdhot Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Posted January 24, 2014 Crazy, next weekend has the better tide cycle - nice and low However if your there why not try, Sunday looks promising wind direction Good luck JD Quote
Tiger37 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Have booked into Gerroa caravan park for next weekend so hoping winds and tides might be good. Quote
crazy Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 im around 7 mile almost every week, ill try get down next week too Quote
Tiger37 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 im around 7 mile almost every week, ill try get down next week too That would be good to meet. Sorry, having just read my post, I realised I will be there the weekend 8/9 Feb, not next weekend. Hoping the winds are tides are good! Quote
crazy Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 no worries, im sure ill probably be around then too Quote
crazy Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 well the tides were awesome.... the wind however sucked... Northely howling through at 30knots.... i was hoping for an easterly or westerly shift but didnt get my prayers answered Quote
Tiger37 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Pity. Looking at the forecast low tides are mid morning and winds are NE next weekend, so I may have a bad time too. Quote
crazy Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 the report isn't that accurate.... - report was telling me WestNorthWest but it was a straight northerly and a lot higher than the prediction - if you are there anyway just pray Quote
BobM Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 well the tides were awesome.... the wind however sucked... Northely howling through at 30knots.... i was hoping for an easterly or westerly shift but didnt get my prayers answered Did you try Currarong (just SE of Nowra)? Quote
