Greenhead / Leeman

 Hi All,

 

Myself and some mates are heading up to Greenhead / Leeman in a few weeks time with a couple of small boats (4.0-4.5m). Does anyone have any advice on ocean conditions for boats on the smaller side? I know it can get windy up that way and want to play it safe.

 

Also, any tips on good depths / directions (not asking for specific spots) would be a greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

J

Be super weary of conditions and cray pots, at times literally like a mine field. In a 4m boat I would be watching the weather like a hawk however some of the best bottom bouncing in close in saying all that!
