Hi. I'm over from Perth for Xmas/NY period and have brought my windsurfing gear with me. Noticed the wind is looking good and wondering where I should sail on a nth easter? Looking for flat water. Pls help. I'm near Tuggerah.

Closer to Gosford you have Green Point which works well in a NE'er but you would need a weed free fin, as well and booties just to be safe. Flat water with relatively short runs about 400-500 metres. longer downwind runs are available if you choose.

Or you could go from the Haven at Terrigal, if you feel more adventurous and you don't need a weed free fin. A wave or two can be found if you go further out.

Cheers.

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately I brought the wrong weed fin (tuttle) to match my new board (power). Decided to give Toowoon Bay a go a few times but got serverely beaten trying to get through the shore break. No broken gear, just a sliced up toe and bruised heal (oh and a bruised ego). What an awesome sport! Just when you think you are getting the hang of it (on flat water) you can still manage to find a way to take it up a notch..

If you don't have a weed fin then have a go on Brisbane Waters, Umina Beach or head up to Lake Mac.

Umina off the beach.

You should be sailing now while its not freezing cold and there are some windy days.
