Please can someone tell me the best spots to windsurf on the Central Coast. I will be staying probably at Avoca Beach, and have never been to that part of the coast. I will be there from mid December until the beginning February. Thanks. 
dave,
What type of w-surfing, waves or flatwater?
There are plenty of spots for both on the CC. You may also want to head up north to Port Stephens and you can sail at Shoal Bay in a NE and Hawks Nest in a NE and SE. You are covered in all directions up there.
There are a few entries for the CC, do a google search or scroll through this forum.
You may need a 'weed' fin for the lakes.
G'day
lake macquarrie is good at belmont bay in a nor-easter and for wave nobby's beach is probably the best bet up here
Hi Dave,
If you like flat water then Brisbane Waters has lots to offer. Place called Tascott is good for launching and is enjoyable in a NE and high tide to make getting in and out easier. Also works in a SE. Not far from Avoca by car.
Thanks for info guys. I sail in the ocean, so wave sailing is my favourite. Is there much wind during December and January?
At the moment the current weather pattern is not that different to summer, many teasing forecasts of wind!
Seriously though, there are more NE seabreezes (nor'easters) and a few southerlies. NE are in the 10-20 knot range with a few rippers up to 25 knots and the southerlies 15-30 knots. Some weeks you could sail 1-2 days, the next 3-4 days so try and sail whenever it's 15-20 knots.
Summer swell is inconsistent but if the swell is S/SE and it's blowing NE then you should score.
Hi Dave,
If you like wavesailing, then I suggest that when it is anything southerly you should go to either Toowoon Bay or Ocean Beach, Umina. Just be prepared to be outnumbered by the kiters. Both spots work well in S'lys. Ocean Beach is onshore and Toowoon is cross-shore.
If it is NE'ers you want, then you can try North Entrance, Forresters Beach or even Wamberal, but it does get BIG at Wamberal sometimes. These are all cross-onshore. Usually a few dedicated wavesailors around either venue and we are a friendly lot.
Sailing on Brisbane Waters or Tuggerah Lakes usually needs a weed free fin otherwise you will pick up weed too often. More slalom territory there.
See you out one day. 
Look forward to some good sailing in Dec/Jan when I'll be there. Hope to catch up with you sometime. Regards. Dave.
