Hi Guys,
Heading for a road trip finishing camping at Woody Head (close to Iluka / Yamba). The maps/sat images look like there may be some good spots for some free ride blasting/ speed runs. Any suggestions on the best spots?
Thanks in advance
Pete.

you can also try "Green Point" between Yamba and Angourie in a Southerly

have to go out through a keyhole in the point though

That video is the go to flatwater spot for Yamba in a NE breeze. Launch spot is Whiting Beach.

For some cross shore ocean/wavesailing I like Pippi Beach Yamba in a N or NE breeze

Try Fraser's Reef just Sth of Woody Head in the afternoons.

I will be up that way from about the 16th and staying at Woody from the 20th.

You aren't missing any wind. 10-12kts of ENE in the arvo.

I took the SUP out for sail yesterday. Just from the boat ramp over to Shark Bay and back.

If there is more wind I reckon Shark Bay in the Eastern SE corner would be good for a blast. Rig and launch at Woody then sail over walk across the sand.
