Should of checked the guides mate.
Seabreeze in WA from Oct - Feb.
March can get good but not as consistent
Temperature differential between land and sea is not as great at the end of summer.

^^^ yup
Last 3 -5 yrs the season has run later but still safest Nov to Jan like usual - it switched off big time in Feb this year huh

Also, I think what was the Fremantle Doctor has become the 'sometimes Lano Locum' and most often 'visiting Gero Doc'. Its not 18-25 4x a week for 4mths like it used to be in Perth :(

I find Margs usually more reliable at this time of the year.

Usually the further south you go the more reliable the wind.
Margies/Albany/Esperence would be a good start

^^^ they got no idea

"whilst nearer the coast the wind can be quite strong, often blowing between 15 and 20 knots and making afternoon beach visits unpleasant."
