Hey.
I'm heading over to the Central Coast on a holiday from WA during the Christmas break and was looking to continue practicing. Is Budgewoi a suitable spot for a real beginner (inconsistent waterstarts, frequent stacks and I own the walk of shame)?

I'm gonna get a lot more practice in once the seabreeze kicks in over here but I cant imagine I'll be brilliant by Christmas.

If Budgewoi isn't suitable can anyone suggest a better spot for a beginner?

Cheers

Cheers mate.
I'm Looking forward to it.

thanks again

Budgewoi has a great camp site on the lake and I am pretty sure Norah Head does as well (my grandfather caravaned there for 40 years).

The beach area is about 1km north of the norah head light house. You can see the protected 'rock reef' area quite clearly using Google earth.

Towoon Bay is perfect for beginners. I nice protected bay that is gets anything from Nth through to Sth winds. It is right at the entrance. Good flat water and a small reef break at the entrance to the bay if you want to get more adventurous.
