just wondering if anyone knows of any good spots north of kernal in a nor wester? clean wind flat water? foreshore drive on botany was really good but i think it is a massive construction site these days. 20/30 knots from the NW forcast! any help would be great thanks.
might head down to rose bay myself if it blows NW, its alot closer than Kurnell thats for sure. Has anyone sailed Rozelle in a NW?
is there any where close to sydney that works with in a NW wind for wave riding?
otherwise i guess rose bay is where i'll be heading if the forecast holds true.
i have sailed rozelle in westerly but didn't have much fun, dirty water and i've heard plenty of stories about sharks there.
Sharks really! oh Sh#t; never sailing there again
Sounds like a road trip is in order. For Nthly in Sydney - South end of Mona Vale beach could work, and even south narrabeen - but I've never had any success. Is the Gong options really good or are they "doable"?
Need some DTL bad... First NSWWA comp soon and need to get back some wavesailing fitness. I may check out Windang as the first event could be there if its Sth, West or NW.
hope we get something!
think i will head down and hope the wind kicks in.
typed secret NW spot 1 & 2 in to google earth but it didn't show up..dam, just have to keep my eyes open for sails on the drive down. ![]()
i've only recently got into the waves but found it so much fun i joined up for the NSWWA. what are the comps like, is it cool for begginer/average wave sailor?
have been wanting to progress and get insight into wave sailing and thought it would be a good way.
Think im going to get out early as poss in the morning and head to Kurnell, just wondering if Dolls point could work. Anyway if anyone wants an on the spot reportleave me your mobile number and i will text you
Forecast is northerly. Normal north east spots will be cross- off. Wanda will probably be ok if you didn't want to drive but Warilla and east corrimal if your driving down here.
Weird wind - defied all forecasts and turned NE about 3pm for a golden hour. I was expecting medium NW/Nthly and so stayed Northside. I got couple of waves off Long Reef right up in the corner but the wind as super gusty and more hard work than rewarding. It's hard to remember Longy really working but used to be good - maybe in 1987 but I have sailed some decent NE's there.
In the end I should have headed to Wanda or the Gong! I'm going to get seabreeze on the mobile so I don't get caught again.
Good to here that some people were in the right spot!
North west with east swell forecast tomorrow. Hopefully, I can duck out at lunch and get a sail at the secret spot. Post photos if its on!
i've canned work for the day and going to head down. fingers crossed, great weather now just add wind.
if anyone from work reads this windsurfing is a proven remedy for the flu.![]()
