the beach near the cbd is in a huge wind shadow from the port, there's also some shallow reef around there. St Georges can be great flat water before you hit the waves (if there's any swell) a hundred meters or so out, about 3km north of cbd. Sunsets picks up the swell better breaks out further and has a longer ride, that's another few kms further north.
Point More sticks out to sea further and gets good uninterupted wind, but for some reason I prefer sailing St Georges or Sunsets. I don't feel comfortable at Hells Gates, too far to swim if something goes wrong!
Not sure about Drummonds, certainly there's surf there, haven't seen any sails out there going to or from Coros.
There's a couple of house rentals near St Georges thou if you're thinking of going down that path.
