Im headed across to sorrento for a week break. As Murphy's law would have it, it seems like the wind is all southerly next week and I don't feel like venturing out into the ocean on my lonesome for midweek sessions.

Can anyone recommend any spots around Queenscliffe, st Leonard's or Swan Bay. It seems like Monday and Tuesday are going to be SE so those spots should work pretty well. Otherwise any other recommendations are welcome.

If its really SE then St Leonard's (South end: launch near boat club carpark or North end go across from Salt Lake). Indented head at the hopefully empty caravan park is also fun but choppy. They mentioned the possibility of Easterly mid week in which case it would be worth going to Portarlington, clean water and sand. Amazing at low tide on Easterly.

Its been years since I windsurfed at Swan Bay (end of Swan Bay Rd) but if you can launch OK there it could be really worth exploring. I have been meaning to check it out again.

If it was me I would go to the Ocean Grove. Park just before the bridge. Clean waves and plenty of sand on SE.
