Hi Shane. Long time no see. The best direction in summer is SE. Launch point is here:
www.google.com.au/maps/@-34.9112089,137.8016819,199m/data=!3m1!1e3Booties are a must. Undersized weed fin desirable (no more than 32cm). The wind direction is normally not that square on the SE (some days worse than others), so you'll need to master going up wind (on the small fin) in one direction to stay close to the sand bar. The locals will give you more do's/don'ts tips. Probably will see you there. I've got a few weeks off Oct/Nov.
