Ive been looking a heading down to harrington nsw saturday but thought i'd ask you all if you recommend any other spots.

Hey Jas,

I live in Port Mac, and our two premier speed sailing spots are the mudbank at Queens Lake near Laurieton (about 25/30mins south of Port), and Harrington, about 45mins south of Port.

# Harrington is fantastic in anything from SE to SSW (SE,SSE, S, SSW)
# This time of year Queens is best on a West to SW.

Normally it is clear cut on which spot is best due to the wind direction. Saturday looks pretty sh1t for both spots (early/mid next week looks like there could be a few runs).

Further South of Harrington you have Canton Beach and Peel Street at Budgewoi. I will let the Southern Marauders tout these spots as I haven't sailed them.

The other spots you have mentioned: Not much worth mentioning around Iluka. Yamba (other side of the river to Iluka) has a speed run behind the break wall but it only works in a NE. SWR is a bump and Jump spot, awesome fun though. Never sailed around Nambucca, but aerial shots of the sandbar in the river mouth look fun for NE-SE, but yet to hear of anyone giving it a serious try.

Cheers, Adam

Found a spot near woy woy (brisbane inlet) very tidal & only works in a true northerly wind directions.watch out for powerboats & rocks 5o mtrrs out from the second land marker. Summer seebreezers are the best time to head to this unique speed strip

I think i'll make my way down as i dont think ill get a sail up here. fingers crossed i'll get down to Maitland Sunday morning.

Thanks Aussieboats, that where i'll go.

I was thinking of coming up to Canton on Sunday. Is peel st a better spot for the forecast direction?

Gavnwend,
could you put up a google earth shot of the woy woy spot, I have been looking there myself & would be interested to have a look at it but can't quite guess where you mean.

Nicole theres nothing like advice from the expert I haven't sailed peely or canton in a westerly, but if you want some advice from the expert , you wont get cleaner wind anywhere elese in a westerly than primbee
