Best starboard tack ive sailed in australia is windang by far. More so 7 or 8 yrs ago. The bluff is good but gusty as hell. Currumbin is good but waves abit ****ty for sailing ive found
The reason Dan says "More so 7 or 8 years ago" is before that time there was only one rock wall built.
It was a total failure, the sand fully covered it up in no time at all and the wall neither helped or hindered the sailing.
As far as keeping the entrance open it would have to be the worst idea ever.
It actually kept the entrance closed and the residents screaming at the Council.
They had to pay more rates for something that was simply dumb.
Then they built another 2 rock walls both are higher and further out to sea than the first.
This didn't help the wind however it did put the break further out to sea, lengthening the ride over what was the average length of ride prior to the 2 walls.
The surfers loved it.
The wavesailors mostly still don't mind it as well. However it can be a bit tricky getting out when the wind is a light.
It does also at times bring some conflict on with the local surfers as to who "owns" this spot.
Before that there was hardly ever conflict, the wave mostly broke too fast for surfers but was a perfect speed for wavesailors.
You just can't kill off quality and Windang has plenty of that
