hi Tassie folk
I'm coming down to spend 5 weeks in Tassie this summer from Brisbane. Got a house for a week over Christmas in Sisters Beach then will be travelling around for the next few weeks after. Can you sail sisters beach in summer? Does it get wind and/or waves? Sailed heaps around Burnie in previous years and it gets wind but no waves
Will be heading to Marrawah on a good foreast and will be there a bit later in January anyway... mostly just asking about sisters beach :)
Cheers

Check spotguide.com.au.

Stanley is always popular- lots of options in the ocean and east inlet.

No sure about Sisters Beach specifically.

PS: I think Baz would be the closest to a local for Sisters Beach, he's located at Boat Harbour. Lovely bloke and I'm sure he'd share some tips. It might be worth dropping him a pm.

Barry's info, which is a few years old, but hopefully of some use... Sorry for the formatting

Spot Name: Sisters Beach
Ideal for: Flat water, bump and jump, wave sailing
Winds: WSW to NW and NE
Directions: Same turnoff from Bass Highway as Boat Harbour, then another 5km
Parking: Plenty of parking in the reserve by the creek
Rigging: On grass near the car parking area
Facilities: Toilets
Currents: Side current in a strong NE
Waves: Picks up westerly swell, but NE swell usually half the size of Boat Harbour
Tide: Lower tide preferable for NE wave sailing
Comments: Quality down the line wave sailing on rare occasions
