Hey Jaz, thanks alot for the info! But im a little confused.
U say an offshore wind is best right (im guessing thats a wind that blows away from land OUT towards sea - that would make sence to flatten out any swells coming IN towards the land essentially canceling each other out) but if im on the south end of Phillip Island, near Pyramid Rock, a northerly wind (im guessing a wind blowing north) is goin to blow IN towards shore rather that AWAY to flatten the sea. Is this right?
Shouldnt a southerly wind be prefferable on the south side of the island (the side pointing towards TAS) as this would blow against the incoming waves and work to flatten out the sea?
Have i got it totally wrong...maybe i just dont have a clue what southerly and northerly wind is? Maybe i got it backwards.
Can u or anyone else for that matter elaborate on the issue??
