Flat water wtf gus come on

stop talking about the forcast or it will disappear!

If talking about the wind makes it dissappear then you can say that cyclone Ita won't make landfall in Queensland. There's no place for meteorology.

Forecast is on....can't jinx this one!!

Roar, you mean the club at Sans Souci? There's two. One in Sandringham is not St George.

st george sailing club is next to the bridge. - we use this one
georges river sailing club is near dolls point
st george yacht club is the motorboat club on the other side of the bridge past the swimming pool.

^^^ sorry buddy i dont understand what to tell you, the wind strength shouldn't be that different from sandringham to kyeemagh in a southerly,,,taren pt, and all that area that roar is indicating is the flattest on offer, its an enjoyable spot at the sailing club, easy park, rig, a bit of a walk on sand then straight into the action,,, canton is a little bit better, not flatter but more flat water as opposed to strips, but weedy, real patchy but safe ect narra lakes, definately work better more West, but wsw is doable, collary would be ok, flattish, cross to offshore,,,,,,,,,,,,,,there is a new spot near toukley that the locals are very excited about, thanks to deltas a lot of spots are now more accessible..............................................ENJOY

as to your question tho - a few of us sail out of st george sailing club at sandringham in southerlys.

the sand bar is fun in low tides and get some nice flat sections. a lot flatter than kuemagh but the wind is usualy a bit more gusty.
also if it cold and raining we rig / derig in the boat shed and can have a hot shower and a beer after sailing :)

So Kyeemagh and Birghton Le Sands still get wind in a SW, just a little further offshore? With bigger chop/swell of course. : )
(Kids are on a 4pm flight with nanny. Might be one of those "thpecial moments", wave to them on the plane)

I've sailed Dolls Point in a SW and it was really good. Incoming tide made for some nice ramps, but had smooth gybe area at each end.

I think your post needs to be clarified a bit. Kyeemagh in a Southerly is definitely better than Sandringham. It may not be windier (but in my opinion it is) but it certainly is more consistent. 6 years flicking back and forth between the 2 spots has given me enough experience to comment. SW is a different story, but S or SE it is the best in the Bay. Flattest water in the Bay will however be at Sandringham up at the strip which is only exposed on a low tide.
Canton is INFINITELY better than the bay IF you want flat water. As long as you have a good weed fin you will have a ball. As long as the weed is up then the water will be some of the flattest you have ever sailed and you can get NM runs in easily.
The Toukley spot is moot as it is only a proposition in a NE. For S or SW head to Canton for sure.

Forecast fell short but still a great session at Canton in 5- 23kts SSW /SW and big gear.. aching now though..
. Best sail in about 6 weeks- planed 95% of the time!
