Has anyone ever windsurfed at Point Walter on the Swan river in Perth? I’ve seen a couple of kitesurfers there in the past, think it was an easterly.

i would rather drive an extra 15 minutes and go to lucky bay, applecross. much better, and there is a san bar on the other end

Cheers for the advice guys. Looking like there could be a nice front coming through on Sunday Westerly. I'm guessing apple cross is a good spot in a westerly.

aaplecross is good on any direction including a west, or a dead east or dead south, but unless you ar very confident with your up wind ability i wouldnt try it on a SE , althought of you get to the sandbar you caqn walking all the into shore

Point Walter is a great option for those days when the strong easterlies (15-20 knots) keep the seabreeze out and at least you will get a sail. You need to get there early am (9am!) before the easterlies die. You can rig up between the boat ramp and the jetty, and sail across to Dalkeith, where the wind increases as it is funnelled by the cliffs. Coming back, you can normally sail over a sandbank and jibe on flat deep water, just in-front of the beach.

Being a narrow part of the river, it has alot of other traffic, so watch out..especially for the ferries! The kitesurfers tend to sail further west (near the spit) or further east (Attadale foreshore)..probably to keep away from the traffic.
