The boys come from the north, so it saves the trip to Manning Pt via Old Bar.
You can access the sand spit by 4WD from Manning Pt.
In a N/E the wind funnels down the river for good flat water blasting about 3-400m S/W of the photos. Sailed the N/E there a couple of years ago - & I would love to try the speed spot up on the spit.
Keef,
Mark J. knows all the latest info on the spot. Bar has changed, I have not seen it yet. Looks like we have finally have a good speed strip on the Mid-North Coast.
The entrance has moved to the south by about 1km and the northern entrance is closed so no tide , you could access from manning point but the ocean swell will kill it for small boards , just hope the flood waters that have hit today dont change it back to how it was , looking forward to the next season
