wear surf booties.(Manly) 1/2 tide you can stand , bout waist deep. Launch off beach at full to half tide. off rockwall steps any tide less than that.

Thompson St, Victoria Point. Full down to half-tide. Sand bottom and can stand for a long way out. Long walk to or from the water if you there in the bottom half of the tide. Flattish water if the wind is light...exactly what a beginner needs.

Hi mikey100,

Thanks for your advice I went to Vic Point yesterday and had a great time. It's a fantastic place in a SE as I could reach up and down the beach in waist deep water until the tide went out. It has also got good facilities and grassy picnic area.

There was a guy on the beach taking wind measurements and he said it was 12/13knts gusting to 19knts. I had a great time and had the board planing for the first time which was a blast. I only came in because I no longer had the strength left in my arms to hold the boom in.

Cheers.
