After a number of frustrating windless weekends I decided to try fishing instead and booked three days in Green Head...only to find out it will be too windy for fishing.
As it stands, NW on Saturday, W on Sunday.
I'll pack the gear, but have no idea where people sail around Green Head?
Neither direction will be wavesailable
For NW try South Bay (boatramp at the south end of town, there is a track to beach about 300m east. Give that a whirl)
For W, back n forth in the bay at the usual spot about 100m north of the jetty. IF you do that watch the inside shallow areas, it is best to BAF about 50m offshore than right in close.
If it looks like WSW and at least 5m swell call me and I'll give you the spot, but I doubt it will go down that path ![]()
I grew up there, billygoat bay/around there can be nice. theres a sand bar that stretches out for a good 750m. pretty much from the beach with 1 meter of water. (where I learnt haha) mind you tho... never actually seen anybody else out there when I have been.
(depending on how strong the wind is tho it can be too sheltered)
Really strong southerly /SSW. greenheads windy as F#@k :P you will be good most places, ;) I just used to enjoy the sand bar when I was crappy at water starts.
<< those pics (on profile) are from there actually. ( a while ago )
It was mainly NW. Got in to close to the jetty, and I was never too comfortable over the shallow reef.
A guy living nearby advised me where to go next time, showed me where to drive along the beach etc. Very nice of him.
Nice, Had fun tho?
Curious, where did he suggest?
haven't been out there in years! got an old house that dosnt get used either haha. poor form on my behalf it think.
Green Head 2012 is the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of December. The plan (weather dependant) is to run wave comp Saturday and Freestyle and racing on the Sunday.
Dinner Saturday night is at the sports club / golf club
Idea this year is to have a full weekend which will run no matter the weather so people can plan in advance get holidays etc. Bring all your toys and have a great weekend.
