Beccara 25 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Hi All, Been trying to get a good understanding of weather windows for coastal day sails around Northland, All of my Met experiences is from commercial aviation so I'm rather light on seas and swell's Reading around and there's almost nothing on coastal windowing, All seems to be rules of thumb for ocean crossings. Anyone got some tips/rules of thumb for NZ coastal or any general advice really? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I just look at metvuw and windyty 10 day forecasts or listen to marine radio 3 day outlook, last time I checked looked like all westerly which is good to get out to the Barrier but its nice to get something from North or East to come back on rather than bash back into strong SW.

Freedom GBE 27 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Stop over in Tutukaka or Whangaruru. There is a great spot to park up almost on the beach in Tutukaka for a cat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
