Hi Giorgio, are you planing a trip?

Thanks a lot jh2703, I've never been there and sometimes the forecast further south is better than Sydney....

After today's in Botany it looks sooooo flat

powersloshin there hasn't been any water in the lake until the last lot of rain , so there shouldn't be any weed or very little but you will need a weed fin any way, going by the first pic the water level would be about the same as in the vids
the vids were taken in a southerly with shallow water and flat, when the lake is full a southerly can be like a washing machine
a thumb to rule is Sydney will get stronger southerlies than jervis bay but jervis bay will have stronger n/easters
we have guys traveling 2 1/2 hrs from Sydney to sail

Let me know please I'm interested. According to seabreeze there will be a gale; according to Met-eye almost nothing ??
Thanks !!

Hi Keef,

I'm thinking of heading north to Canton - It doesn't look west enough for Illawarra...

How do you get to this lake and where can we launch from?

good choice mike
I had a look at the lake today and it looks like it has dropped since jase took those pics , which is under stand able seeing it was empty for so long , jase and I are going to have a look and hopefully the wind will move some water to the southern end, if not we will be sailing s/p
I wouldn't recommend traveling any distance because you mite be disappointed
