too late in season. no wind or swell .)

just hot and flies !

Just kidding !

But if you are lucky you MAY just score it all time. av 4 days sailing out of 10 this time of year. Less windy but some good swell may be scored. If you can read a weather map you WILL be able to pick it.

yeap mate, see you up there if we get a good forecast! You could also e-mail me and we can go together sharing the driving and stuff with my awesome huge van!!! Anyway, hope it is worth going there, cause Perth sucks so far concerning wave sailing!!! Cheers!!!

sorry rick we got three cars already going up there one of them being mine... but thanks for the offer

OK, this data is from BOM and is the carnarvon airport wind report data for the last xx years (I don't know how many). I have fiddled with it so it can be read as follows. The left shows month and time and the columns show percentage of time either 21-30km/h or > 30km/h, I skipped the stuff less than 21km/h. For example in april the wind is over 30km/h 11% of the time in the morning and 16% of the time in the afternoon. Based on those odds I'd be taking my diving gear and a surfboard.

So when do you figure is the best time to be up there? When can you get most days with wind, and some swell enough to play in? Is 78lit good enough for there? Can you fight the flies with chop-sticks like karate kid?
