Hey Dave,

Lano is your first port of call and then Gero and then probably Port Gregory. It gets pretty windy further north than that so i9t depends upon how far you are willing to push the heat, wind and skill level.

Lano and Gero are such faves though, really little reason to go much further IMHO in summer.

Good winds,

The whole coast is fantastic.........thousands of kilometers of it.

Wind is just about starting to hit...KH is spot on. Expect more wind and harsher conditions as you move North. Beware of sharks, snakes, stone fish, box jelly fish, coral, sting rays, bees, and let us not foget the sun.

Are you kidding Reli Man, our wild life is starving and always looking for an easy meal.

dublindavid: think about having a shark shield for all your 4 limbs; I recon the more of them you have dangling from your body the safer you will be....not.

Gero's freaking windy! Like 25-30knots by most afternoons, Started out in the day with a 9am and was on a 6m by the Arvo! Lots of Beach space too...


Whats the update on LAno? Heard sometime ago that there's a ban south of the Windsurfing mainbreak. Is the ban being enforced?

Go to Busselton

Angry blue jellyfish and poisonous cobblers up north.
Not to mention anaconda sized sea snakes.

Nothing against the tech. at all....great stuff.

Any tech. device that works is cool if it helps you on the water. Honestly, when I'm out there I'm too dam busy to be worrying about the unknown.

Have a good trip, you will love it here.

Was up at Lano on the weekend and only seems to be a sign at the grassed area where the poleys setup in front of the sea rescue building which says no Kite surfing activities allowed on this lawn of something to that effect.
