The areas in blue are particularly nasty! They look like you can sail over them but they bite!


I can see where I came un-stuck I'm nick naming it the devils tail

@tonyK ,

Photo of the gap through the northern edge of the new bar. This photo is high tide. I walked it at low tide as it's only knee deep in spots at low. Sailable at high with the right wind angle as surfinfreak said. Be warned the current rips through here.

the whole area seems to be changing weekly. Photo by bluey

,I reckon you'd run aground before you got to it on the pond side. There is a bank there.

next few weeks will change again. There are plenty of foilers at the bar proper.
the sand on the banks is loose like quicksand so it is easily pushed around with the currents.

Sailed at the new bar over the Anzac weekend. It is a bit hard to record yourself... so some friends with me. I was standing in waste-deep water, wind about 20kn; sailed out from the motorboat club.

The swell is onshore where I was standing in the water, but as you go out further the swell wraps around that outer-sandbar (shown in those pics above) so that they are directly in front of you.

( the looping looks like the same shot repeated... there was a wave in just the right spot so that a lot of them were in the same spot on each run )
