Does anyone sail Brooms Head or know of any good spots in that area or best time of year etc? Looking at moving down that way.
Cheers,

I placed a similar post on 15/4/2012 which you can check - sorry I'm rubbish with the linking.
Have done a Qld driving trip (me driving, kids & wife flying, hence the chance to sail/look everywhere) almost every year for about 8-9 years. Mostly April or Sept/Oct. Haven't sailed Broom's, in theory good in S/SE but I guess not that time of year. Mostly I've had big southerlies or NE in Oct.
Typically I've found Coffs area & Ballina (river or flat top) the most reliable & a few sails at Currumbin.
The two flat tops, Woolgoolga & Skennar's at Ballina are hard to beat as can be sailed in both S/SE & NE and hold big swell. Had Skennar's 8am one morning in a 20K NE, no one else out of course.

Always got a surfboard as back up!

I think brooms probably isn't worth wavesailing as it just doesn't hold a nice wave. used to camp there almost every christmas, its the type of place that you swim a tractor tyre out into the surf and jump off.
Pippi beach in yamba has a few regulars and some friendly kiters there in NE'ers.... Apparently in SE'ers you can sail down angourie or if you have a fourby just drive down pippi beach till you get to a headland... never tried it thou....

I did Cairns to Adelaide on a trip once and I sailed Lennox Head a few days and that was good!!
