Hey guys,
Due to my new job, I have to move around Paddington (Sydney) and I can see that there is some water not far off!!! I would need some advise if it is doable to windsurf around Double Bay/Rose Bay? any good? what's the wind like there? Would be good to have a quick windsurf sesh fix after work!
Cheers
(Sorry guys for my french)
Salut Frenchy,
Je vois que tu te poses les memes questions que moi quand je suis arriv?!!! Toute cette eau ?a motive ;-)
Sauf erreur de ma part, il n'y a pas d'interdiction de naviguer, il y a d'ailleurs un club ? Woolhara apres double bay (Il y avait une comp?te ce week end en race board).
Le probl?me vient surtout de l'orientation du vent. Un nord nord est est surement bien, ou nord ouest, mais pour les autres orientations, les obstacles alentours doivent surement rendre la navigation tr?s irr?guli?re car le vent tourbillonne. Je navigue souvent ? Balmoral par exemple, par vent d'est il m'est arriv? d'avoir totale petole et 30 nds dans le m?me cr?neau...Meme la direction du vent change...Bref, avant d'y aller j'irais au Woollhara sailing club ils doivent bien connaitre.Ensuite attention aux ferries, notamment le gros de Manly qui passe par l?...De pr?s il sont impressionnants mine de rien...
Si ?a te dit de naviguer ensemble, Mon no 0435 920 250, Jean-MarcA+
Woollahra Sailing Club has a very active windsurfing fleet. Mostly aimed at fun racing after work and on weekends though.
Most people use Race-boards or WOD. Kids are usually on BIC Techno's...
Rose Bay in the winter Westerlies is actually no bad for recreational windsurfing.
I used to windsurf out of Woollahra SC when I lived in Rose Bay and loved it. As Brett said, westerlies work along with sea breezes. I would often venture out past Shark Island but found when its busy (mostly weekends) it was a bit of a nightmare so staying south of the island is the best.
