Heading to the Gold Coast

[Fatbastard 26]

Packing up the boat and heading to the Gold Coast / Moreton Bay this weekend for a week of r & r and some tight lines hopefully.  Never fished the Goldie before so anyone with local knowledge want to share some secrets I'm all ears!!  Palm Beach reefs seem to be a good place to start from the basic research I've done but any advice very welcome.

Doubt you'll get out through many bars mate. If you have a large boat, and like it rough, maybe, but doubt the drift etc will be worth it. Horrid ESE wind forecast and lingering swell. 

Broadwater, rivers and canals will be better, safer, options.

Here's a link to the wind readings at Coolangatta:
