I thought it would be a bump and jump sesh. It was more like a survival session. As I aproached the water I realised the beach break was huge! I should have launched from the pass rather than the beach. Eventually made it out but it was the most confused water I have ever sailed in.

Great late sail, did not get in the water to after 4, so missed the best of the wind, but still a good sail on freeride gear.

Eric, I sailed Byron Bay for over 15 years, it is a very hard place to sail when the wind gets up, but it is also one of the best sailing spots i have every sailed, always launched from the pass.

Hi Geoff. Thanks for the feedback. That is some sound advice on what it is like. Wish you were still here so I had someone to sail with.WinkI'll launch from the pass next time its big like today. I have had some ripper sails in Byron too, especially when its more NE and smaller swell. I reckon it would be real fun on the lighter northerlies with the big gear too. Today had a very large south swell and 20-25knots(on the gauge) from the NNW. There was a huge sweep from the north that met the sweep from the pass and that formed the mother of all rips. What a washing machine! I felt lucky I didn't drop my gear in the middle of it. The beach was closed a couple days back with a GWS too so that doesn't help the nerves. I look forward to meeting you one day to discuss the sailing around here.
