Thanks to Gav and others who are taking the time to post up the pics regularly. The popularity of windsurfing seems to be enjoying a resurgence this summer.
FAN ON!! SURFS UP!! Boys n Girls! Whitewater rolling across Bribie into Pumicestone passage. Looks to be a few metres wide n maybe 50cm deep. Hightide still a few hours away. Lot of water n debris moving in the system. Bribie being breached.
Further south is an even lower part of the island. Across from Powerboat club, in behind a small island. Havnt been able to check it out. Have seen that area breached before.
Not seen it breached before. Been praying for it every year tho
Back in the 80/90 there was a channel from the light tower straight out to the bar. So the waves rolled in through the channel. It was awesome. Launch at the light tower and hit wave after wave at full speed with dead flat water inbetween all the way out to the bar.
Eventually it silted up so we started speed sailing along the bank running north to south. Then it silted up further and trees grew and that killed the speed sailing.
If that break through forms properly it may present some great jumping opportunities on the inside in a se/ne wind.
Unless council fix it but from what i read they are going to let it go and focus strengthening the golden beach side
Mr Sultmann said Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service officers would assess the site as soon as it was safe to do so and encouraged people, including boaties, to stay away from the area. He said erosion of the area was a "natural occurrence".
"Unfortunately, northern Bribie Island is just one of those coastal areas that's going to keep eroding, but it's a natural process and we prefer to let these things occur naturally and not interfere," Mr Sultmann said.
