Mate from the pictures posted here, you rip it up on a sup,you know your sh-t.
When on the GC, hit up sup heaven the Alley and the points south,sup the outside of Greenmount or creep into Rainbow but Snapper into LM is another thing.Some of the crew hate sup'ers out there,but as I started with you rip so make the first wave a good one and the others will be happy to watch,just show respect which I am sure you would anyway.
Enjoy the roadie,take the camera some we can all share the eastcoast.

Thanks for the tips guys! keep it coming, looking forward to getting away and surfing with some fellow suppers up the coast! Will do a photo journal of supping on the east coast.

Leon.

if your coming through sydney on a weekend pm me and i will show you some spots but if i was you would go to the south coast of nsw such good waves around there and little people during the week... try bendalong, green island ,ulladulla that area rocks

North side of Coffs, there are few little turn offs of only 1km or so, and you're at the beach. Sapphire, Moonee, Emerald Beach, Sandy Beach (ha!)... Also Woolgoolga, Mullaway, Arrawarra... Good camping and cabin action around that way too. Some roadworks at the moment. But a nice little stretch for a stop over.... You won't have any trouble here with a SUP midweek.

The other great stop is Treachery. Again, a bloke like you won't have any trouble midweek.

Trial Bay Gaol Camping Ground is worth a stop too. The Big4 Caravan Park nearby is good too.

Heading south, follow the riverside roads to Hat Head, and Crescent. Again, you'll sneak under the radar at Crescent.

South again, Crowdy Head & Harrington area can be a worthwhile stop.
Back onto the Highway, and back out to Old Bar, or keep heading out to Forster Tuncurry, and you'll stumble across Boomerang and Bluey's Beach, and next stop is Seal Rocks and Treachery (mentioned above).

That's my surf highlights tour of the Mid North Coast.... And that's only about 1/5th of the NSW Coast..... And I even skipped Port & Coffs Southside....

SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND

But if you are seeking the land of the long right hand point break, greater Torquay Vic is good (IMO! - What did you say? You're goofy!?)

Hi Leon

This is a copy of what I sent someone else:

In Winter we traditionally have off shore winds which can lead to great surf though often not as big as summer.

The coast is an easy place to get from one location to another. Noosa to Caloundra is only about 40minutes.

Noosa points are great especially SE winds are high.
Noosa River mouth is great when the points are not working and the rest of the coast is blown out.
Sunshine to Coolum is an exposed coast and often has larger waves then the rest of the coast. Great for beach breaks.
Mudjimba and Maroochydore are often a bit more mellow then Coolum but have a great wave. The river mouth is good for SUPs especially if the beach is blown out.
Alex has a good mellow beach break north of the SLSC and a good point south of the SLSC. Often crowds up though.
Mooloolaba is not what I would call a SUP wave unless the bombie is breaking when it probably becomes the best on the coast. This is rare for August. Normally a Summer thing.
Karties is great but has one take off spot and crowds up at 10 people. Traditional Short board spot but they do not mind respectful SUP riders.
Kawana stretch has great sup in winter much like Sunshine to Coolum.
Wurtulla is one of the best breaks on the coast with a very punchy wave.
Dicky beach has a great wave and is often a good choice when north kawana is blown out.
Moffatts is a classic wave with a variety of take off points. It is a larger area and can handle a larger crowd. Great when blowing SE.
Kings i would avoid but happy valley is great especially for the family or when blowing northerly.


Cheers
Swanie
