Would Caloundra bar be the best wave sailing location for Sunday 25kn Southerly forecast?


Bar is bump and jump more than wave riding unless it's SW wind which cleans up waves for riding. Still fun spot to sail when the wind is up.

The bar is getting wider and better.


Notice the right hander in the bottom shot

I would be careful, still alot of debris in channel. Heard a horror story about some tourists almost coming into grief with board/body piercing dead trees on northern end....
Will play on the outside for the time being, high tide only. Give it some time (season or two) and bar will move north. Clearing the remainder of vegetation from the old part of northern island.
Should get back to what it was in the eighties, flat water and wave heaven

Thx for the heads up. Was such a killer spot in the 80's/90's.
Did the issue happen on the northern end of bribie or northern side of bar.

Not sure atm but may end up at happy's on Sunday. Won't be early.
Keen to sail northern bribie beach south of bar but tides not right Sunday till late

Heard northern side of bar, but personally would not sail any of it for now.

No way would I sail along here! Lots of speeds bumps! Done 3 checks of the area. Way too much risk and if you stuff up - no one is near by to help.

I'm going to have another look at low tide. So far have been lucky by the sound of it.
