Big Pond

Best wind

Northeast, or a sufficiently strong southerly, according to the exact community foil listing; no independent performance rating was found: https://project7iii.com/foildata/map/big-pond

Water

Broad estuary sailing water north of Scotland Island; the firsthand foil source describes shifty conditions. Nearby shallows and seagrass are mapped by Transport for NSW.

Experience

Foil experience level unverified. The pin is in the broad Pittwater sailing area called Big Pond, not a documented beginner launch.

Hazards

Shifty wind and a broad-water self-rescue exposure. The official map flags shallow water under 2 m, sensitive seagrass, regular diving, yacht/boat traffic and rounding marks, dangerous reef/bombora areas, and overhead/submarine cables elsewhere in Pittwater; use the map to distinguish the exact session area and keep clear of marked hazards: https://project7iii.com/foildata/map/big-pond https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-07/9a-pittwater.pdf

Parking & access

The database pin is over a broad sailing area, not a verified launch. No exact public foil entry or parking facility was established; select access locally and check current signs rather than navigating to the water pin: https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-07/9a-pittwater.pdf
