Who's heading out on Saturday and where are you going?

On the South Coast, I'm thinking Avon Beach could be a good bet for Saturday morning between 1000 and 1200 based on the tides given the current forecast. Enough wind and enough South to push some wind swell in. Maybe Sandbanks might be stronger for jumping but I'm looking for that kind of vibe. Hopefully, see some gunners out there.

Yes I was thinking Avon Beach as well. But I was just looking on google maps and considering wind direction and noticed that Swanage would be cross/cross off. Has anyone sailed Swanage in these wind,swell conditions and care to share their thoughts ?

Hi Neil, Interesting thought.

If you do go let us know how it turns out. I'm a little concerned with the angle the swell has to wrap for a medium period swell (assuming you are looking for waves), but maybe could be worth a punt. Also keen to hear other opinions...
