Sounds like a good beginner spot

Where do I go for best launching setup etc

What winds and tide conditions do I watch for?

Cheers Jeff

HI Jeff,
Boat ramp park at end of 'Noojar Rd' Twinwaters/Mudjimba.
Stay away from the ramp for obviouse reasons, its not a busy boat spot, just a few jet skis and tinnies.
There are a couple of big marker ramp rocks under the water there also. SE winds are best follow the lines on the maps above!

If you head over to the big sandy bit in the pic at med-high tide you will get knee deep to waist deep water, great practice spot, (its dry on low tide!) it gets deep quicly off the ramp.
The tide only really gets strong once it gets too low to sail anyway, so no issues there, it pretty hassle free spot, winds a bit on/off but you get that anywhere you find protected waters.

Just keep your fin size below 40cm would be my tip, the smaller the fin the longer you can sail there, or use a weed fin.

Think I cleared all the fishing line away for you!.... makes an awesome sound when you here their real go zing at 30knts! And my scream when I see their tackle just misisng my tackle!....
seriously who fishes in 20+ knts of wind, or who lets out a mile of line out downwind of their boat...$%#!@!!@!#$!

between 500-700m run, the last 200 a bit dpendendant on wind/tide.
