Im going to try wave sailing for the first time this weekend, i have been told about gerroa, does it work in a N NW?

Tim's right, however gerroa is quite an exceptional place in that it can drag a northerly wind around into a NE'r simply due to the areas geographical nature, it's more unlikey that will happen at this time of year however as the land isn't really hot enough. So many times it's been blowing 10kts N-NW here in wollongong and i'll drive down to gerroa....head around the kiama bends and all you can see is white caps.

What i'm saying in a long winded way is I would not be surprised if it blows NE down at gerroa this saturday or sunday, but don't make a big trip on my predictions. Check the shoalhaven surf cam and all the local observations before you make a move.

Yeah it's a special place alright!

Hope it kicks in this arvo

I'm at gerroa now. We drove down yesterday. Left Sydney at lunchtime, it wAs 2kt westerly on botany bay, 5 kt easterly at Wollongong, and 20-25kt nor east at gerroa. Gotta love this joint. That has happened so many times over the years it's ridiculous.
We even had an overhead south swell, lovin it!

It's an epic spot indeed, and for some reason always has more wind that other places on the coast.

Just don't tell anyone else about it...

Gone west here now too. About 35degrees

Gerroa did the exact same thing both sat and Sunday. Spun 360dgs all morning on the beach while it was ne the whole time off the point. Then at luch time went ne and picked from glass to 25kts in 15minutes, blew 25kts for 45minutes then went back to glass. Baffling to watch.

You obviously travelled outside of Sydney to do that!

Try Dick Payne Real Estate - they have a few reasonably priced houses on their books about $400 for a weekend

Still get a giggle everytime hear the guys name. Tragic

Heading off to Gerroa again this weekend, managed to find a house for the duration. Anyone heading down there??
