12.40pm Brighton beach in Ch-ch is pushing over 12 knots

I think the mountain boarding and buggy crew are out south of the surf club.

Bugger all swell, beach won't really work today even if the wind picks up.

Tide is on at the estuary around 3.30pm, wind should be around 16-18 by then, see you there.

Yep - didn't call that one very well, looks like you guys had a blast.

Got out on the estuary later in the day, plenty of wind and very few people out.

Today is looking pretty much a repeat of yesterday, maybe with a bit more swell at brighton.

What's it been like in other parts of the country? We have Aucklander and Cantabs posting reports but what about guys from the deep south and of course the windsurfing strongholds of Taranaki and Wellington?

- They're holding the pipemaster out there at the moment - Solid 1-2 inches of swell, (a bit bigger) but like yesterday the wind will no doubt make things happen

And, Decay, just to make you feel better, some people did go to the estuary after a beach session, which, depending on your favorite direction, could have been a good call, as the wind changed direction later (and picked up a little) to be more on shore, cross on from the left, and only two of us were left at the beach for the last couple of hoursdirection.

Today is building nicely out here at Brighton, and I'm going out on a limb (brave considering my feeble sticks) and saying that it'll be well on by about 2pm

I'm off to dry out my water wings

Beach was great yesterday, nice 14-16 knots and plenty of the crew out.

Finished the day with a couple of hours at the estuary, wind was quite N, a bit gusty but still fun.

Weather report for today is a repeat of the same, and tomorrow is looking on as well.

Got to love Ch-ch this time of the year, the NE is such a smooth and consistant wind.
