I want to know the best ten Sailing spots in Australia.

It's no good just blurting out a name, you have to comunicate why.

Why is it great for sailing?
What are the downsides?
When is the best time for wind?

If someone lists the one you like you can ditto it or add your 2 cents worth.

Secret Spot

Hyden is a couple of hours from Esperance.

I'll give away a couple of spots in SA.

Sultana Point, Eyre Peninsula

LaKe George, for speed, south east coast

I'll also give away a couple of spots in Victoria: Sandy Point, speed; Inverlock, Speed and B&J

My ex-secret secret Spot that I'll now giveaway coz I'll rarely ever be able to sail it again, is Venus Bay River Channel, northern side of inlet, accessible at Boat Ramp area, on low tide, you have long sand bars and dead flat water (which is the old river bed channels), and on the right wind and tide can be as fast as Sandy point, just not as long!! And usually have it all to yourself, with just the odd boat to dodge, except when it's really windy coz no-one goes out in boats. This place is special on the right conditions!!!!!


PS: The reason for not giving away any more of the local spots in WA is because of the crowds and bad behaviour by some of the crew that come down from perth, and some of the overseas crew that hear about the places then treat it as if they own it. I'm generous to a point and then when people abuse the generosity, it's over red rover.

and no bull sharks...[}:)]

i like to go to spot G as often as possible
thanks a frigin' lot lesk[}:)]
didnt you consider the fact that i love to sail those secret spots and you went and put them on a public forum
bloody hell now its gonna get crowded

NOT!!!

wow sounds like fun junior dont tell too many people
cliffo might gate crash your party

Hey Greenroom,
That Spot G is almost impossible to locate.

Just when you think you've found the gold, a fork in the journey will get you lost in the bush again.

i would invite you alone snake and show you but that would be disgusting if you were a woman, yes, but i dont like my chances no crowds at spot G
these secrets are better kept secret
testosterone what are you talking about hardie
im talking about sailing spots

Yeah Greenboss,
Hell-rip at Currumbin when it's cranking.

I dare ya to launch on the southern side of the rock thru the killer shorey next time it's firing.

On a southeaster?
Cool!

No, we've never met.

I never joke.

Pretty sure all east coast sailors can vouch for gerroa being our number 1 sailing spot. No1 for wind(even when theres no wind anywhere else theres wind here), waves (picks up %100 of any south swell) and the best damn down the line wavesailing anywhere!!!! This place rips holds huge swells and provides the cleanest waves for endless bottom turns and huge airials. This is also the location for the up-coming nationals, so to all you west coast sailors umming and ahhring about coming east my rec would be do it cos this place is as good as any westcoast spot and is goin to deliver awesome conditions as always.
