alun j. Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 I know it can all change by Sunday....BUT !! .... having been all over the place for the past couple of days, they are firming up on a horrid looking day, with rain and wind, wind , wind !!.......I see 30 mph and gusts over 40! Will it still be on if this happens?? ...is there a 'reserve' date if not? Alun. Quote
JIMBOB Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 gutted Looks purple!! booked the day off work too I think its on but restricted to poole harbour? if so does that mean boats moored in xchurch cant fish? James Quote
Graham Nash Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 windguru is showing 7 to 9 on Sunday. It wont even be much fun in the shelter of the harbour Quote
Rob Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 If restricted to harbour James you will need to bring your boat to poole harbour. I will talk to Neal and Dave S over the next few days to formulate a plan. Rob Quote
Adam F Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 What about the boats moored in xchurch? Quote
JIMBOB Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 Blink Weather looks great again! Ive never seen such a change in forcast!! fingers crossed this one sticks Quote
alun j. Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Posted September 19, 2012 How many times can it change in 4 more days??? Quote
Mike Fox Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 Looks like a complex low is sat in the Western Approaches on Saturday, with another over the Baltic and a ridge of high pressure over the UK - meaning Saturday is looking like fair weather and light winds. The entire air mass looks like moving to the East on Sunday, with the high pressure ridge narrowing and moving to the Benelux countries, and the Low from the Western Approaches moving in over Britain, generating SE winds that I'd estimate at F5 on Sunday from the isobars, but this could be anywhere from F4 to F6 depending on if the low deepens or not. The location of the actual fronts on Sunday are difficult to predict this far out, but the leading warm front associated with the low could be in the region of the Channel, or over N.France. If it stays South it could well be dry and clear - but if it comes North there's a risk of continual light rain/drizzle. So...still early days, but it might be lumpy out at sea in Poole Bay.

Jim Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 How many times can it change in 4 more days??? Perhaps the weather is Female ! ! If so she could change her mind many more times before the weekend. Jim Quote

JIMBOB Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 If restricted to harbour James you will need to bring your boat to poole harbour. I will talk to Neal and Dave S over the next few days to formulate a plan. Rob My boats on a mooring and my trailer is in storage and cant get it out with out a lot of bother(moveing several cars caravans and trailers and driving a long way!), could only fish from christchurch. Theres a lot of weed in the harbour at the moment tho so fishing lower christchurch and the run would be hard work anyway. Bl@@dy weather! im best off staying in bed! James Quote
great white Posted September 19, 2012 Report Posted September 19, 2012 Hi all Good luck with the forecast and the decisions that you will need to make I am sure rob and all involved will make the best decision for all. Sorry that alfresco can not join in this year We do not get back from sunny lanzerote until late on Sunday. Charlie Quote
Mike Fox Posted September 20, 2012 Report Posted September 20, 2012 The low is now forecast to intensify, and move further North. If this remains the case, all indications are for much more stronger winds and heavier rain. Mike Quote
