isofish Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hi raiders heading up to port in the new year just wondering what's the bar like to cross. I've crossed bars before just wondering what this one is like, obviously depending on weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolate Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I am not sure about Port Macquarie bar , Best to go for a walk up to the bar itself and have a look at it at low tide and high tide, And go and talk to the marine rescue and get there local knowledge, Always treat bars with caution , Also have a look at web cam from MARINE/RTA website.

Scratchie Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Very difficult bar to cross especially at low tide and with a decent swell. Need a bit of power to feel comfortable. For memory, you exit the bar on the port side. But please check with marine rescue, they are right there on the centre of town. Cheers scratchie!!!

boattart Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Been quite a few years but we used to go there each year to fish the Golden Lure. It's quite a long shallow bar at it's worst with a Nor easter blowing and obviously a runout tide towards the bottom makes it worse. A good breakwall to wander out and have a look. It's one to be wary of but with some common sense and a chat to the locals should be OK if the weather allows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
