About Wallagoot Lake Boat Club
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 500 m out (1 in 52). 1 sailing school or club within 10 km. The sea is about 16°C in July, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 22°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Tathra. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
