Go to Tascott for a safe place to sail in a northerly wind. Its onshore there. You could also try the other lake on the other side of Toukley. A northerly would be sort of onshore there too, depending where you launch from.

Aint' been there Billy, just got glowing reports from guys sailing there in a nor-easter. Google Earth pic looks shallow and weedy- simular to Canton I'd imagine. Drive over and have a look. I'm keen to try there this spring.

Good idea. Don't sail anywhere you can't walk home from Around the southern side towards the caravan park may get a little more of the nor-easter, dunno have a look when ya there. Have fun with it.

Cheers mate.

Or the park at the end of lake street budgewoi... Shallow out for ages, just depends on how much weed there is nowdays.

Don't worry I wasted 1 1/2hrs yesterday driving down to try & go sailing and 3 -5kts..[}:)] Enthusiasm made common sense go out the window. I KNOW this time of year you never get decent NE..

Monday delivered the goods for me though.

Forecast looked bad in the morning
Weather looked bad as I loaded the car
Wind looked bad as drove to the beach
Conditions looked bad as I rigged up
Everything was indeed bad as I flopped around in the ocean

At least it delivered what it promised.

Got bonus nor-easter here today Was thinking I'll have to wait till Friday for the s-wester, but hit Trial Bay at 11 am plenty of white caps and a decent 10-14 knts off n-e, clear blue sky and fun little waves peeling in. Oh the water was a bit cold- only 24 deg.

Never complain about any wind Billy, you'll get a 4 week lull and be looking forward to anything over 5 knots.
