Hi all,

Has anyone sailed Amity Point on North Stradbroke Island as a speedsailing location? Im heading to Straddie this Xmas and very interested in the potential of this location.

Take a look of the location on googlemaps?

Katapult

katapult.

madness. seriously don't do it.

there are lots of other spots around straddie.

hi katapult, if you are staying at amity then it's a great spot for windsurfing around christmas, with the normal northerlies you can rig up at the northern tip beach at amity and sail across the channel to those sandbanks which have some great speed runs and small swells in crystal clear waist deep water to the western side.
sure there might be some big fish in the deep channel which is a few hundred metres across (don't spend extended periods of time swimming around) but i have sailed around amity for a few decades and i wouldn't be too bothered if your skill levels are reasonable and you dont sail at dawn or dusk.
cylinder beach is also great on a northerly and with not too big a swell (rare in december)and it's onshore you should get some good sailing in.remember absolutely heaps of crew surf there!
regards ian
