Going to be on th e gold coast for a week after Xmas and there is SE forecast for a few days, where do you guys sail?
SE Currumbin is great. Can launch from creek
but I have found beachfront is easier and go
downwind past the rock. Can be patchy on
the inside & always surfers there so keep a
respectful distance and no problem. Long waves if the swell is up.
Duranbah also a good option, although SSE probably more ideal as SE a little onshore. Packed with surfers but if decent swell can catch waves well offshore or in the middle. I have sailed a few times there and also sail way out near the river.
Straight southerly is prob more unusual for summer but flat rock Ballina is the spot.
If you get a NE go to Kingscliff (south side) which is a little onshore or Hastings Point, cross shore.
NE tend to be a little stronger in northern NSW.
