I want to travel to Australia someday to windsurf ... where is the best place to go or is it all good. I have some business associates on the Gold Coast but they aren't into windsurfing ... yet.

thanx will chat some more when the time gets closer to the time when we come. My wife likes traveling, however this year is a ski travel and we will be heading back to Whistler for a second time but I will get a sesh in tomorrow. Here is the Atlantic City Marine forecast.

Wed
NW winds around 25 kt with occasional gusts to 35 kt... becoming N 15 to 20 kt late. Seas 4 to 7 ft.

It looks like an early sesh for sure.

Have a good day all.

Hi Shredder I live about 1 hour south of gold coast near Lennox Head and have sailed in side shore seabreezes 20 knots average for last 3 days, waves up to 1.5 m and open ocean. The next few days are looking good

Far North Coastal Waters,Tweed Heads to Wooli and 60nm seawards:
Strong Wind Warning.
Wednesday until midnight: Wind: N/NW 15/25 knots increasing to 25/30 knots late afternoon then easing to 20/25 knots late evening or overnight. Sea: 1.5 to 2.5 metres rising to 2.5 to 3 metres late afternoon. Swell: NE 1 to 1.5 metres Thunderstorms
Thursday: Wind: SE/NE 10/15 knots tending NE 15/20 knots in the afternoon reaching 20/25 knots offshore. Sea: 1 to 1.5 metres reaching 2 to 2.5 metres offshore. Swell: NE 1 metre tending S/SE 1 to 1.5 metres later. Thunderstorms
Friday Outlook: Wind: NE 10/15 knots freshening to 20/25 knots, 25/30 knots offshore.
Saturday Outlook: Wind: NE 20/25 knots easing to 15/20 knots later.

This is pretty normal weather pattern and is usually followed up by a change that moves up the coast from the south 15 - 25 Knots in strength, hanging around for 1 - 2 days before turning North East again.It will be like this from Sept - to March if were lucky

See yaon the water , don't blink.

theres a couple of good places here on the gold coast to sail. just depends on what your in to. For flat water blasting, the train on the broadwater is the place to go. for wave sailing, currumbin alley and dbar.

drive 45mins/1hour south you can sail down at Byron or Lennox like Addicted said. further south Ballina is supposedly a good spot to sail.

The wind is pretty good at the moment, weve been getting some great windy days.typically its during the week.
