Going to try and get to bettystown tomorrow around 7am if anybody interested.

Wind looking good from NE according to met eireann anyway, they got it on the money today saying 14 knots E for this morning and i was there and it was ranging from 12-18 knots i'd say. great session

if a bit lonely

Windguru is sh*t at moment as it says 4 knots for Bettystown today and as stated above it wasn't 4 knots.

I'm going to be there, i think Dom interested as well.

Wind didn't turn up this morning but it's there now, tide against us at moment but 17:00ish should be good if it's still like it is out there now.

Cool, Im collecting a 5m flow on the way home. Will put my buggy in the car and in the morning Ill head to bettystown beach. If I see ye I see i suppose

Have to head off before lunch for a christening.

Sunday is looking like myself a few others are treking to Tramore to hit the water. Wind dependant I suppose. But my buddy is mad to go so Ill tag along.

oconnpad · « **Reply #14 on:** March 05, 2010, 09:40:40 PM »

Wrap up warm in the morning boys it will be cold on that beach at 8am i'd say with frost expected over night.

I'll try make it tomorrow as well, kinda work depending

markiemc · « **Reply #15 on:** March 06, 2010, 11:47:32 AM »

I had great fun in my buggy and 5m flow. A super powerful kite. Winds were less then 10 knots but I could haul ass upwind and had great fun flying downwind power sliding along the way.

Great to get out so early as it's getting busy down there now. Look forward to more days like that.

Domin · « **Reply #16 on:** March 06, 2010, 02:45:02 PM »

wind died after you left Mark. Alan and lads with sandyyachts had to ,, powerwalk,, all the way from Mornington.
Anyway it was nice day and it looks like winter is over now....

David · « **Reply #17 on:** March 06, 2010, 05:51:29 PM »

So who is going out tomorrow? Early I presume

oconnpad · « **Reply #18 on:** March 06, 2010, 07:44:19 PM »

I'll defo be there if wind is good but it's a bit of a suck it and see with the wind as to what time ill be there.

While windguru isn't the best at moment it's predicting best time around midday but sure if sunny like today i'd say beach will be packed at that time.

Tide wise we look good up till around 2pm.
