Currumbin bar is a sandpit at the moment . Limits your time on the water to the few hours around the top of the tide in a big boat . If you are serious go there on the low and have a look from the lookout up the steps opposite the alley .

Is this an easy bar to go out through in an 18ft glass boat. It is a fair shortcut to Palm beach compared to the seaway. Hoping to get down there Friday to have a crack at a mack

It is herendise at the moment with little to no water on it. Also mermaid has had a few fish i hear as well which is closer to you. If you really want to go out of Currumbin you will have to go have a look of the point as it changes every 2 days. also watch out for the dredge pipes as you can hit them on a half tide thats how shallow it is.

If you have never crossed it before, now is not a good time to learn. You could do worse than sit on the north wall one morning and watch a few guys cross it.

Thanks for the responses people. I may just stop off at Mermaid
