Sorry, I'm just a flat water intermediate, but I always thought you'd need a lot more than 10knts (say, at least 15knts ??) to get out in the surf?

On they way out in 10knts you slogg but once you catch a wave you will be planning and fully powered due to the effect of apparent wind.
The best wave sailing often happens when theres only 10-15knts of breeeze.
As for where all the windsurfers are at cronulla im out till september coz i aint got a licence for some time. I think most other guys are heading to maui soon aswell, im off there in 2 weeks.

kitingkook, what size gear (board and sail) would you use to wave sail in only 10knts?

i made a late dash at wanda on the monday - i was also the only one out there, but it was about 4pm... most of the guys are in maui. the conditions were great though, cross shore and i was fully powered and jumping on a 5.0. the southerly with a bit of west in it works well down there.

roll on summer

Hey harrow Id use a 5.7 and a 90lt board.
And yes it is a good excuse for their not being any wind at wanda, but hey whats wrong with clean waves and more time on the water, as long as you can getb out and catch a wave theres no reason why you shouldnt sail .
