Am making my maiden trip to Gerroa this weekend. Forecast is looking promising for wind. Am going down by myself in my van. Will any other windsurfers be about?
Was down there today, by 3pm it was probably gusting to 30kts. By 5pm I was out of control on a 4.7 (lightweight though + arms rooted). Waves seemed to disappear a little when it hit low tide, the hour or so before low tide was pretty good (down the beach further - nothing up the top). I'd dare say tomorrow it will be deadset nuclear, bring small sails hahaha.
Just got back from Gerroa with a mate, first time sailed there for years. Had an absolute blast, waves were small but plenty of wind, bit gusty early but around three it really filled out. Might be back tomorrow and the day after.
WIND!!!!!! OK, am definately packing my 4.2 and EVO! This is my first trip down that way, have no idea what works best where, but will cruise about and check it out. CAN'T WAIT!
If it's flat just head a few k's down to the Berry turnoff, it's not as onshore as the heads and you can still ride down the line and it's generally great for jumping. Can be dodgy for car break ins but on the weekend not such a problem with plenty of people around.
Alternatively if the wind's ballistic then Werri is a great option too.
anyone heading to shoalhaven heads? what's the wave situation in Gerroa? leaving from Sydney around 11am. shld be there by 12:30 but don't really want to sail by myself...
