Trouble is, that's a good time for wind but bad time for swell. The best bet for swell that time of year is the south coast.
Esperance is probably less crowded than Margaret River, and on your way of course.
Also of course, peak camping/holiday time so accomadation can be scarce.
Might pay you to make up your mind and book somewhere.

Depends... do you want half mast down the line cross off stuff so u think you are in Maui but for 1/10th the price? Yes Esperance but you may get only 4 days wind in that time.

Go to Geraldton, there will be tons more wind. You may get down the line condn's if there is swell, if not much swell you'll get pretty good jumping conditions in 25kn at Coronations (20km north)

If you get sick of that you can also do Lancelin for coupla weeks(only hour north of perth)

yeah like mark says, the further north you go, the more wind... i sailed at lancelin last xmas and we got 20 - 25knts with ocasional logo high sets comin through....BUT VERY CROWDED and the wind/swell was only up for a few days.....if i was making the trip i would sacrifice swell 4 wind.

if u r driving over....check out esperance as your first stop...if the wind is lookin bleak, cut cross country and head NORTH. If it's firing stop and make the most of it

BEWARE Java,

I did the same thing you are about to do 18 months ago. I loved it so much I now live here.

I know many that have done the same.

Beware of the spell, it will get you. Whoa hahahahahahahahah.
