Hi there,

I'm going close to Forster for Easter (Boomerang Beach). Is it worth bringing my wavesailing gear?? (current forecast is Southerly winds with easterly swell..!) Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Francois

I sailed point plomer a year or so back, i think thats near forster.Not sure about the wind direction though.

Hi Francois
qwerty is on the money (hows it going Carl?) - south side of Hallidays is side shore in NEaster (not sure how great in a sth wind).

If that doesn't work out you can also look at Wallabi Pt in a Nor Easter. Its just south of Old Bar (turn right off highway just before Taree)

Not much in that region for southerly forecast thats really sideshore. Maybe Tuncurry on the north side of the wall??

Hey Rob.
All good down here. Season been ok up there?

Waves are smaller than expected. Wind is calm right now (not a good sign).

qwerty - is there a launch point at Black Head?

Yep. Straight off the beach you'll come to as soon as you drive over the headland. There's a carpark right there.
Tack up to the point which is only a few hundred metres south.

You can drive further along the dirt road and park there. It's closer to the point but no grass to rig on (last time I saw it).
Easier to go from the first carpark.

Caves would have been heaps better than Windang. It just would have been cas its near Newcastle. I sailed for 30min before snapping uni joint. Cas im hardcore.

I didn't think it ever got windy in newcastle.

I smacked this wave so hard yesterday I pushed my feet through the board and got cuts all up my shins.

Just got in from Windang. Pretty good. Wind came through late again?? Banks are pretty good at the moment.

And yeah Hardcore your too awesome

Bonjour Edd,

Haven't been. Just stayed in Sydney. Sailed Windang in a Southerly for the first time on Friday and i was impressed by the quality of the spot - the bank close to the canal began 150m from the shore. Even though the waves weren't that big, you could do up to 10 turns in the good sets ( a bit more for Whyner and Wazza..). Looking fwd to winter woutherlies .
