That said, just wait it out till an autumn or spring CAVOK day with light winds and go high! it's a lovely trip....
I second that motion. The next few months will bring westerlies and cold fronts. Have a good understanding of synoptic charts so that you have a good idea of the broad weather situation. If there is a big stable high over the south-east and the wind at the coast is not an easterly then that would produce the weather UTR is referring to. Just remember that fine conditions west of the ranges doesn't equal CAVOK east of the ranges and vice versa.
