Quobba beach
Submitted by Whiting on Thu, 2012-05-10 22:39
Was after any advice on navigating my 4.5m quintrex out from quobba beach. We have a hilux so hoping to launch successfully and then get out for a fish if the swell and wind are favorable. Heading up next week so any advice would be appreciated

Quobba beach?
Do you mean the small beach behind Quobba homstead or the Blowholes ramp.
The Blows ramp can be a real pain if the tide is low and you only have one vehicle and half a pain at high tide because the sand is coarse and rather soft. If you've got two cars, no problems but if only one, expect trouble.
Getting out and back in can be dangerous with the swell above 3 metres .
Never seen anyone launch from Quobba beach and IMO not worth the risk.

launching at the blow holes
launching at the blow holes shouldnt be a problem as long las you let all tyres down(the more the better) we mostly use a snatch strap to drag our boat out. and be sure to let trailer tyres down as well.
