Do you mean Foster?

Or Forster even?

No, i mean Forrester beach near 'the entrance' , central coast

Wave sailing is good at Umina Beach in a southerly, S/Easter, S/Wester (mostly onshore). Also good at Toowoon Bay in a southerly (side-shore). Kiters are also present.

Forrester's Beach is only really good in a N/Easter. Bit tricky getting out so not recommended for a newbie. Not many N/Easters predicted lately.

Flat water sailing is good at Koolewong (most directions except westerlies) and Green Point (both on Brisbane Water). No weedie needed. Further north is Canton Beach (flat water) but you will need a weedie. Booties also recommended at these locations.

Your combination of board/sail and your ability level should determine where you go.

Good sailing.

Depending on the wind a good place to launch is north of The Entrance. There is a turnoff a bit down the road where there is a boathouse on Tuggerah Lake. You don't need a weedfin there. I don't think booties are needed there as you launch into fairly deep water so there is no need for wading.

Too easy. Smiths Lake in a SEster, Wallis Lake in all other directions. A weedie can help in Wallis from time to time

Same mistake I made. Forresters Beach is on the Central Coast, a bit south of The Entrance.

My suggestion will be a bit of a drive then!

And probably worth it too.
