Found this today while working on the coast.
Amazing what you find in your own backyard,should work in an Easterly and North Westerly and its 10 mins from home.
Just runs the wrong way for my Assy fins 
Might have to get me a KA/Slowly fin 
. The line is 2.2km and should give us a new NM and one hr spot with flat water to fight the SRM/MM If it works ?????
Now i have to wait for a good Easterly and low tide
Hmmm... also southerly and we can use our assys! We have probably had our one strong southerly for the season though.
Is there a boat ramp at the end of Mahers Landing Road
(at 38 38' 18.93S 145 47' 28.22E)?
When everywhere else is "full" (ie summer) I have crashed out in the car park there. Great place for catching prawns too.
How "low" of a tide was that picture taken?
awesome find!
Won,t work in a Southerly,no wind in there. Took the photo at 3pm, so an hour after a .35 low tide so it should work with most lows. The access via the boat ramp should work,just have to miss the rocks.
I'm excited!!!!! Give the call up and I'm keen to come for a look. especially seeing as it's closer to PI & easier for a leave pass.
During the easterlies, how much south/north is in it? if there is any north in it, we'd be sailing from bank to bank.
and theres a hint of an easterly next week
and theres a hint of an easterly next week 
PiT crew. I have sussed out another strong NM spot that I know will work on our most common and frustrating wind. The west with just a touch too much north in it. Also the SW with just a touch too much south in it to get a good run on the main channel.
Shhh......
Could be good. 
I noticed this bank when I sailed a south easterly breeze there last Easter but thought it was too far up the channel to be accessible. I ended up sailing in the surf that day and playing a bit in the estuary. I'm keen! The 'easterly' should be good because it's actually more an east south easterly at Inverloch due I guess to the funnelling effect up the beach and estuary.
Kato was that photo taken from the boat ramp?
"Yeh maybe a little broad for a seabreeze. This is the line I've sailed in a few easterlies before. Kato what do you reckon?"
Thats a good fun line. Nice,flat and square, straight into jump city.Use to run out there on my old Bic speed board. Huge jumps,just had to make sure that you did sail out too far and run into NO wind. High tide out there is also good.
Yeh it sure is fun + wave rides down the line into the beach. But is that direction pretty typical? If so, I don't reckon Kato's Bank will work all that well....mmm 
Looking at some models of easterly wind this morning and I am seeing a bend in the wind direction as it goes from ENE at Sandy to ESE at Andersons Inlet as it bend around the coast. Is this a pattern you have seen regularly Kato? If so it looks promising indeed.
I've worked out your pic finally. It's the sand bank in the distance including the channel, not the near one right? Looks like a hard edged sandbank.....which means next time I come down for an easterly it will be via Inverloch
I've also looked quickly at wind direction, potential sailing pattern and how I think the easterly bends up the coast locally with Shallow Inlet in the background. The distance between the two red dots is 1600m according to Google.
Yep thats the one. It will depend on how much the wind bends,but i think that it could be broard and fast . NW has potential too
