Go to Tascott for a safe place to sail in a northerly wind. Its onshore there. You could also try the other lake on the other side of Toukley. A northerly would be sort of onshore there too, depending where you launch from.

Aint' been there Billy, just got glowing reports from guys sailing there in a nor-easter. Google Earth pic looks shallow and weedy- simular to Canton I'd imagine. Drive over and have a look. I'm keen to try there this spring.

Good idea. Don't sail anywhere you can't walk home from Around the southern side towards the caravan park may get a little more of the nor-easter, dunno have a look when ya there. Have fun with it.

Cheers mate.

Monday delivered the goods for me though.

Forecast looked bad in the morning
Weather looked bad as I loaded the car
Wind looked bad as drove to the beach
Conditions looked bad as I rigged up
Everything was indeed bad as I flopped around in the ocean

At least it delivered what it promised.

Got bonus nor-easter here today Was thinking I'll have to wait till Friday for the s-wester, but hit Trial Bay at 11 am plenty of white caps and a decent 10-14 knts off n-e, clear blue sky and fun little waves peeling in. Oh the water was a bit cold- only 24 deg.

Never complain about any wind Billy, you'll get a 4 week lull and be looking forward to anything over 5 knots.
