Having moved to Northern Beaches in Sydney from WA a couple of years ago, I have finally convinced my wife and baby about the virtues of a long weekend in Gerroa?.accommodation booked, alas forecast looks rubbish.

Trying to decide on gear to take if any? Any tips re forecast and best places to sail in the anticipated southerly?

Any help much appreciated. Packing the car tomorrow night.

Since you have left the windy west, be prepared to be working heaps more and sailing once a week - maybe.

On the plus side, you'll be spending more time with your family.

maybe invest in a SUP, or new surfboard, to keep the sanity.

If you manage to get up early on Saturday you should be able to catch a decent sail on wave gear up at Windang. That said it's pretty unpredictable. You could end up with not much of a Southerly at all or it could be 25 knts. Gerroa though definitely won't be any good on Saturday... Monday / Tuesday on the other hand is whole different story.

I would call in sick on Monday if i'd be you.

thanks for posting. got the monday off so will load the gear!

Re the SUP comment, got one of those for the wife for Christmas?amazingly the one I bought her takes a sail too!!

I would take gear, the sun Is predicted and arrows are from NE, and may be a little south wave coming in. Any thing could happen.

Plus windang as mentioned.

Best way to guarantee wind is leave the gear at home..

So true

Yesterday was really light .today started off light but filled in , but as the wind filled in the waves dropped off . Only one broken mast , a young fella I've only seen sail there a few times

more surfers getting in the way than kites . and I let you have any wave you wanted , and was happy with the scraps left over
