I'm going down to the Batemans Bay area this weekend for a mountain bike race on Sunday - Mogo to be precise. Staying the weekend by the coast just east of Mogo.

Saturday forecast looks pretty fierce with up 35 - 40kts and massive swell so I'm bringing the windsurfing gear as well.

Given the NSW south coast Saturday forecast, where in the Batemans bay - Moruya area can I find manageable wave conditions? Any suggestions on spots in the area will be most appreciated.

Cheers,
Staffan

I've heard Tomakin ~ 10km east of Mogo is very good in a southerly, nice waves come into the bay.

Of course not Tim, just a bit distracted while googling "positions vacant". Can assure you this place has been ground truthed by my most reliable sources. When Tomakin's good it's epic. Maybe I should check it out myself this w'end, can always go down to Coila if it's too epic.

No, no, you get to do whatever you like, for as long as you want, and have your favourite meal ready for you when you get home, and an ice cold beer already in its stubby holder.

Staffan,

Head South to Broulee. You have two beaches/ The Southern beach where the surf club is, always has a wave, whether at the northern end of the point or down the South end of the Moruya break wall.

I cant vouch for wave sailing there but you will have plenty of choice in that area wind/swell direction dependant. Good surfing spot. Tomakin worth a look too. Big lake either side of town. Plenty surf beaches South of Moruya, turn left out to Bingi and South of there. Worst comes to worst head further South to Tuross Head. Bring good wettie. Water temp around 13c

Great part of the world. Further south the better and no crowds. DONT TELL ANYONE.
