Hi there,
I'm going close to Forster for Easter (Boomerang Beach). Is it worth bringing my wavesailing gear?? (current forecast is Southerly winds with easterly swell..!
) Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Francois
Hallidays Point. Next point north of Forster at the end of that really long beach (9 mile? 7 mile?)
Pretty good spot. Both tacks covered.
Sail the south side of Black Head.
I sailed point plomer a year or so back, i think thats near forster.Not sure about the wind direction though.
Thanks for your answers; Hallidays Point looks good: had a look on googlemap and it seems there's a small reef, so i may find a proper wave there. thks
Hi Francois
qwerty is on the money (hows it going Carl?) - south side of Hallidays is side shore in NEaster (not sure how great in a sth wind).
If that doesn't work out you can also look at Wallabi Pt in a Nor Easter. Its just south of Old Bar (turn right off highway just before Taree)
Not much in that region for southerly forecast thats really sideshore. Maybe Tuncurry on the north side of the wall??

Thanks a lot Rob. Sadly the WE away has been cancelled.. (my non-windsurfing friends don't want to drive 400kms if it's rainy and windy.. not sure why).
So it'll be Windang!! (never had a chance to sail Windang in a southerly..but i've heard about so many 'epic days' down there).
Is Windang still ok if the wind direction is slightly westerly??
Windang was shoulder high and 20 knots later this arvo. The wind didn't come through until 3, weird. Was pretty good though.
Caves would have been heaps better than Windang. It just would have been cas its near Newcastle. I sailed for 30min before snapping uni joint. Cas im hardcore.
Just got in from Windang. Pretty good. Wind came through late again?? Banks are pretty good at the moment.
And yeah Hardcore your too awesome
Fripaloux,
The surfing is heaps better around forster if you go I suggest surfboard only for best results.
Camp Elim is sick filthy and big if you got the balls.
Bonjour Edd,
Haven't been. Just stayed in Sydney. Sailed Windang in a Southerly for the first time on Friday and i was impressed by the quality of the spot - the bank close to the canal began 150m from the shore. Even though the waves weren't that big, you could do up to 10 turns in the good sets ( a bit more for Whyner and Wazza..). Looking fwd to winter woutherlies ![]()
.
Ahh windang
I missed out this easter then. ![]()
Still I shouldn't complain going to indo on the 23rd of April hopefully i'll get some sick pits.
Then off to Northpoint for a week in July..... ![]()
gotta love Winter time the surf just gets better!
