Hi folks
I'm new to the forum and sunny qld and hoping for my first sail in Aus today. Thinking somwhere in the Bay, Wynnum, Manly, Redcliff.
Where about is good in the predicted nnwesterley and where are other sailors heading?
Much appreciated.
Wellington Point is the allround spot to go works well in any wind direction low tides a bad walk through mud only on the western waterloo bay side out the front not to far to walk.
Where are you from?
The other sailors are going to work
but if you head to Wellington point would be your best option. HAve fun
I'm Heading to Manly, Probably won't make it until just after 4 but Wind is peredicted so gotta be there... Here's this mornings prediction from Predictwind..

Had a really nice sail at Central Street Labrador for a couple of hours yesterday , only two of us out, hopefully more today.
Hey! thanks for all the quick feedback.
I think I'll head down to Manly, Wynnum and Wellington Point direction and see how the day progress - it's all in the same kind of vicinity.
BOM indicates quite a bit of wind for Moreton Bay area but the web cameras are not showing any movement yet. One can only hope...
btw. I'm South African but we moved over from Ireland after living there for well over a decade.
Hope to see ya'all on the water at some stage.
Hi sailordude, in a northerly you will get the most wind at wynnum a few uf us will be down there late arvo ![]()
I think you get wind where ever you go today.
Tides an issue in the Bay though depending what time ya go.
Go straight to Queen's Beach, Scarborough on the Redcliffe Peninsula for clean water and clean wind. Absolutely rocks in a NNE. Bump and Jump heaven.

Now for a beer and some takeaway ![]()
Great Arvo! 100litres and a 5.7 excellent combo. This freestyle might be a bit harder than I first thought. Step one is to find a boom that doesn't slip down the mast!
Dropped into queens on my way home, only kiters on the water. It looked awesome, just like the good ole days!! quote]ikw777 said...

Had about an hour at queens from around 4 , must have just missed you Lee,
5.8 and old 120 ltr bic, a good start to spring, i was expecting to see the ghost of ikw, being such a beautiful spring day![]()
What a day, great arvo at Wynnum and excellent first day's sailing in Aus, it blew solid since about 1pm, left at 4pm and still getting stronger.
Thanks for the location advice and nice meeting you Clive and JoLee.![]()
Just don't expect todays conditions all the time. It was rare conditions today.
Have to disagree there has been a lot of seasons (maybe not the past few) that we have great northerlies .
Water seems pretty cool still which is a great sign for better sea breezes
Not sure if you noticed but at one point, the Sun was setting on one tack and then there was a full moon on the other. Pretty cool.
