Hi I am new to the city and am wondering where to windsurf in a westerly, Have tried scarborough but is dead on sure and a pain in the ass!!!!
Any info would be much appreciated.

hi marcus, velcome to perth,,,,, west and east aren't good wind directions 4 perth..

there is a web page somewhere with all the spots in perth to go, i think it might be on windsurfingwa page.....

get yourself a ubd street directory

for westerlys try:


pinaroo point - ubd 185 d11
flat water sailing, if there is a gigantic swell u can score waves off the little reefs and the harbour wall to the south.

leighton beach from the freeo slsc ubd 305 n15
wavey onshore slop, you'll need to be able to punch through the shorebreak. could be frustrating or funtastico!

crazies ubd 345 p15

you'll see the waves crashing into each other causing craziness on a waist to head hich sandbar that stretches out about 1km out to see. park and launch from south beach car park ref q4... don't use the car park near catherine pt groin its meant to be dodgy. one of the best spots, needs a big swell to work well and is also good on a nw through to sw


woodmans point 365 m13

sail either side of the point, kiters usualy use the south side. only sailed it a couple of times, each time was nuclear overpowered conditions ...


River pt majestic 307 q11, launch near jetty and sail over to pelican point and back... watch out your board will turn brown


theres more south, but never tried them... anyway shouldn't be that many westerlys left, seabreazzzzers start kickin in soon which means u sail anywhere on the coast

Contrary to WM's advice, don't go to Leighton on a W - directly onshore. Needs some S in it to be any good.

Crazy Waves

Just Greenroom hi-jacking your thread....

****** is the name of a place that he obviously wants everybody to know about,

miller is short for WINDY MILLER.

Check the UBD references and you'll see that WM has told you about spots from South of Fremantle to Ocean Reef.

hey racy, i checked leighton's from the surf club the other day after a sesh at CW. there were 3 out, it did have a tad of Sth in it though. but the s.l.s.c sticks out a bit, gives you a an advantage over the slop, and there were some ok waves coming through, get a floaty board like your evo and you'd make it out, if it does go tits up you're only going to get washed up on the sand unless you head down to cables for some action....[}:)].......i think you can also get away with it on mulaloo beach, just got to pick yer launch spot.

anyway nevermind leighton...come upto corros on wed and thur...looks like it will be well worth the drive.....get some big airs off endless mountains of green and you might be able to put yer whole body through the sail this time [}:)][}:)].....

i go up wed/thur/ maybe fri.... look out for the white van, good to put a face 2 a name!
