Your missing the by-law that says no surfboards, windsurfers, kites etc further south than the dog beach end (sometimes known as Cables beach)

Its usually only enforced in summer when there are swimmers populating the beaches as Leighton and Port.

I've been down there a couple of times - launched from Leighton and sailed upwind to the beach restaurant (think it is called Salt). Upwind near the restaurant and further south it seems that the wind is very inconsistent in southerly directions. Guess this could be due to the north mole...

Anyhoo - having sailed a lot on the river I find that is a lot more fun and challanging doing some down wind sailing on the ocean..

raggy -> i find that the wind is more consistent on the ocen then on the river. Also it is good practice for the Ledge to Lano...

When there are no waves forecasted for weekends I try and go on my slalom gear from Leighton.
