We got to test the "Secret" lake on Xmas day and let me tell you that it's fastly becoming my favourite spot to sail. Getting shallower by the day but in the nor'easter and at the southern end of the lake there is more then enough water. Slightly more choppy then the southerly but still rather flat, a bit more of an opportunity for the odd chop hop but it's a great place for gybe practice.....It's good to know that it works in a nor'easter as well
Looks like a fun spot Jas. Freestylers should be frothing over this spot given how flat that water looks, even in a NE
looks really nice, is it north or south of santuary point? 
can you tell me what board you're on, is it a JP super sport?
Yeah got that Makani FS weedy, have used it once already and it's pretty sweet. It feels slightly odd to sail as it works at a slightly higher angle of attack than my normal fin so it feels like the board is 'crabbing' a little bit....but it is only 18cm so to be expected
I cut my other normal FS fin down the other day too, so it's also only 18cm now, like a boss. Will send you my number, always looking to check out new spots
Hey Chris as Jase said it is on par with wind strength to Shoalhaven Heads in a NE. Ive done heaps of kiting there. The northeaster is strongest at the SE corner where the old telegraph pole is. As you go west of this the wind comes over the trees and is a bit gustier, thats why you have to stay downwind a bit. Entrance opened in April, its now blocked again. Yep another 12 inches of water and it would be sensational.
174 how long is it you sailed there , the lake is higher than sea level and emptied about last feb and closed around july this year, it's had a huge flush out and a lot of the sea grass died off, the bottom is mostly clean at the moment except for the southern and western sides where there is heavy beds of green weed, the weed is deep under the surface and it seams to tame chop, for some reason the lake produces good speeds , usually i'm not the fastest sailor on the water but 3 out of my last 4 outings i have managed 32+ 2sec and a 23 knt alpha, having said that if we don't get a good top up it will be a longer walk and if we do get a top up the weed will grow and will definitely need a weedy
barn its nothing like gerro its more like primbee only cleaner air from the south to n/east, im not a freestyler but it should be the same on both tack's if you have a look at my tracks on the GPS site it should give you an idea
Thanks jase, I will have a look next drive down that way and see if I can find the spot, think I know where. the wind seems to be further up north this week but had a good hour at sanctuary point yesterday morning
