Golden Beach, Caloundra, Queensland, Australia
Golden Beach is one of the most popular sailing spots on the north coast. Great sandy beaches and relative safe sailing.
- Best time of year
Open to most breezes but has some great blasting conditions in a summer sea breezes. Probably does not get quite as much wind as you do in Brisbane but the beaches are much nicer.
- Wind direction
Outgoing tides with SE winds make for a miserable time on the water at Golden Beach. The best tides to look for are afternoon high tides, with SE winds, and afternoon low tides with northernlies. East winds are good for both.
- Local hazards
Watch out for the current especially if you are learning to water start. Sand bars can cause a problem when the sun gets low on the water in the late afternoon and cuts down your visibility.
