Stuie Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Can someone please publish an Alderney Encyclopedia - I don't understand all these fancy words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 What's happened to the forecast! Someone mentioned the W word.... No back to looking iffy 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 What a difference 24h makes. Let's hope it swings back to what was showing yesterday as we won't bother on that forecast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Humm forecast seems stuck as it was yesterday, what to do to do? I think I will leave it until tomorrow morning to call yey or nay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Expecting call it tomorrow too. Currently looking like sat to mon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Will make final decision tomorrow too but at the moment I'm only really seeing it decent on Sunday afternoon, but still with a fair bit of leftover swell but a decent looking sea for the run back on Monday. At least it looks sunny but we probably would wait for a better weekend if it stays like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iansimpson63 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Just received a call from Chris to say that Kingfisher will set off around 07:00 on Friday unless the W word turns worse. Mal Thomas and Maverick Martin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 You boys must be looking at another forecast? Guru and Finder not looking at all nice for Fri? I will speak to my crew tonight with a view to making a call in the morning, but I would be wanting better weather than I'm seeing to commit.

Steve S Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Surprised about planning to leave Friday, it is looking pretty 'fresh' over Casquets http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=13921&sty=m_spot Tigerfish currently planning to leave on Saturday morning.

Mike Fox Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Not sure what windguru is seeing for the weekend, but the Met. Office, BBC and Wetterzentrale (the sites I've learned to trust), all indicate spaced isobars, and only lightish winds. Not flat calm, but I'd be concerned at visibility, and the stronger races ouside of slack water, but there's other sites out there as well as windguru. If you compare the isobar spacing now, with the channel islands inshore forecast, they line up and agree. If the isobar spacing is broadly similar at the weekend, the local forecasts should be similar.... Good luck whatever you decide.

Adam F Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 As it stands it's only Friday standing out as the windy day. Bloody work! It's been calm all week, and looks calm all next week, all apart from Fri. I'll take a look in the morning and make a call. Hate it when it's borderline like this.
