This weather

 Has anyone else noticed that this summer has been blowing its ring out every other day? Definitely the worst I can remember for winds, I'm struggling to even find a day for a snorkel/swim. Now it's February and we're looking at 20knot winds all day every day, with the upcoming weekend raining and 21°- 23° =-O

I was set on a Mack this year but if this keeps up I'll be settling for an extended salmon season :'(

Spot on Luke - can't remember as shitty a start to summer (boat) fishing-wise.

 Yep it's very frustrating, anyone who reckons this is a normal pattern is full of it. We usually have strong easterlies that knock the swell down with small windows inbetween before the doctor. Hardly had anything like that this year. Australia day was probably the best day we've had out but the swell was challenging earlier in the morning. Let's hope Autumn plays ball.

 I thought it was just the weekends while I'm at home, but there's hardly a good day anywhere.

Sea breeze app says 18-20 knots SE till lunch time but looking at the ocean it doesn't appear to be that windy. Can someone confirm sea breeze forecast was wrong this morning?

 Looks flat coz the easterly is blocked a bit by the land so inshore is in the Lee. Go out 200m and you feel it in a small boat
