Brighton Beach foiling - where are the rocks?

Best place (only place) is inside the groyne at the wide north end of the beach.

There's a band of rocks running the full length of the beach about 10m out. There's some small gaps. It's easy to drag out over with the foil up then start in deeper water. If you have a longer mast or the tide it low then a foil can hit the rocks on the way out.

There's a bit of a gutter before the rocks. You can start off in that gutter, get up on the foil then ride out. Most people stay high on the way in and drop off in the gutter. If you come too far in there's stones in the sand that can chip your foil.

There's a reef running diagonally from about 100m north of the life saving club. It runs out a long way and there's a few shallow rocks. Stay clear of that area. It's dry at low tide. Wear booties if you think you're going to end up on the rocks.

You can sneak in at Dendy St but there's the odd rock and the clubbies can get a bit grumpy.

In a northerly the wind inshore is very gusty. You want to be outside the yellow buoy to stay in smooth wind and have a decent session. No rocks out there. But, if you lose any gear out there then there's no land downwind. The next land is down past Frankston. A little bit of west smooths things out and blows stuff in at Dendy St.
