A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. 6 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 19°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 27°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best month is usually February, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Brisbane. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot and 1 kayak spot.
