I'm on google earth! Circled in yellow.
I was looking at google earth when I spotted my car parked on the road, checked my gps data for the same time and date to confirm I was out then zoomed in and found me

You are doing okay, but your harness lines are a little too long, and your rear foot is too far back!

Great looking spot.
Waves on one side, flat water on the other.
Does it get a wee bit cold there?

It goes between -10 and frozen over in winter and +30 in the summer. Mid April you can get out and sail until about November. Maybe a bit either side of that if I could find a way of keeping my hands working. Unfortunately the waters around here are getting warmer so we are starting to see alot more sharks in the summer. I made the mistake of downloading ocean research shark tracker a couple of years ago so now I know the names of the ones swimming along my beach

the bay can be really flat and fast but if you get a strong easterly with the tide running out of the bay the chop is horrendous. the beach on the north side you never know what you might get, the waters coming from the Atlantic straight from Newfoundland, one day it might be pancake flat and blowing a gale the next there might be no wind and mast high waves 6foot apart from each other.

If you look at Gerroa on Google Earth there are several sails on the beach and a few on the water.
