General

estern Australia is undoubtedly the best place for windsurfing in Australia during the Australian Summer. The main sailing season runs from November to March, with the months of December and January providing exceptional conditions.

Over the last 11 years, I have sailed at least 4 days out of 5 over the Xmas period (Late December - Early January), on a small board (sinker) with 5.5 down to 4 meter sails. This being said, it can happen that a lull in the movement of the weather pattern across Australia (mostly due to tropical cyclones to the north), can produce stagnant conditions for a few days.

The main recognised sailing areas are Esperance, Margaret River, Perth, Lancelin, Geraldton and Gnaraloo. This site describes the conditions and resources in these areas (some of the descriptions are under construction).

Western Australia is also a very interesting area for the tourist. It is an extremely large state, with a large coastline, and a hot and arid interior. An excellent reference for a description of the area is Western Australia as well as the Lonely Planet Guide description

The page Western Australia, Land and People has a fantastic number of links to resources in Western Australia. The tourist is advised to make use of this page to investigate the full potential of the area, specially to find links on tourism, wild flowers, activities, etc cetera.

Auinfo.com also has useful information about the area, including descriptions of some of the main towns, as well as accommodation details taht can be useful.
