Popular spots are launching from Majestic Point on the River (get there via Canning Highway, then through Applecross), or at Point Walter .. check in the street directory.
If you're keen, you can also head out south from Woodie Point, but you'll be in strife if the wind drops as you'll drift out to sea!
thanks for that blokes,, marked off those points in the ubd... looks like wed could be alreeeeeet for a blast, is it the same deal for S.E looks like it's swingin......or are there any other spots for s.e??
What about the big duck pond down Madjura way, is it worth the drive??????
aaarrrrrrrrr ye swashbucklin city lubbers i wid ne come te mandurah arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ye may walk ye plank ye scabby bastard ye arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Yeh there's a great spot on an easterly......... it's called Elmo's it's where Elmo busted his fin and board grounding in 2 inches of water at 30 knots, there's a furrow in the sand bar, apparently a few dolphins have made it a new feeding ground for themselves,
So try Elmo's, it's the sandbar with the deep furrow right in the middle of it........
Pelican point and check the time-table of the Rottnest Ferries if you want to get a wave.
how can u get all your gear to rotto.will it cost you an arm and a leg or what? then how do you get round the island with it. i suppose the answer is obviouse. you dont.... or yuve got ur own boat.
gooza my friend are you being serious leski was talking about hitting the wake from the rotto boat that leaves barrack street jetty a popular past time peace my friend
Yeah But!!! I was thinking just the other day, how the transits would be on an easterly. Look at the graphs, rotto has more green than anywhere else the last couple of days. Transits would be an easy sail from the ferry stop. Could be very bumpy I guess, and you wouldn't want to go out to far, especialy if there's any south in the wind. yesterdays swell should have got into it ok. any thoughts anybody???
im just spending way too much time out of the water. getting desperate man, starting to lose it a little.ths forum is my only outlet. sailing at transits aye? u talkin bout south of where the ferry pulls in at rotto?
Nup, it's the north end of Thomsons bay, the swell needs to wrap around the north side of rotto untill it's heading almost due south. Look to the right as you're coming in on the ferry and it should be coming straight towards you. An easterly would be reverse tack for us. I surfed it many years ago, can't remember if it went better left or right. but the jumps would be good, I'm sure there's good deep water, before and after the break. It's just how choppy it gets, there's a lot of water between rotto and the mainland.
your right Decrepit, If you are talking of the big sand bar that is there, I 've seen some amazing wave breaking and as you say it will be a pretty wicked spot on a easterly!!!!!!! someone must have sailed this before
gooza, I go nuts too to think that the wake of the ferry would make it for the lack of ocean action!
