I know I'm getting a bit ahead of myself but I've been looking at the monthly windrose on WillyWeather and realised that the Southerlies and South Easterlies I've been enjoying on the Richmond River at Ballina will change to Westerlies next month - May.
Are there any flatwater sites south of the Qld border or nearby that provide good sailing in a Westerly? My steamer suit is ready to go!
Thanks,
Greg.

I don't think there's any river spot in northern NSW that offers any consistency when coming mainly from the west - maybe a freaky once-in-5-year-day on the river in Balina

Gold Coast broadwater when all the stars align has offered a surprisingly good westerly blow, but usually it's WNW or NW

Sometimes Kings beach at Caloundra in a SW /W

Wello is about the only place that offers a due westerly (SW, W and NW) wind that's even remotely close to a summer blow - but you probably already know about that :)

Sail from Ballina Sailing Club across into Mobbs bay and back at low to half tide is where we've always sailed in a westerly

I have had some great days on the Richmond running from sailing club to wall.
If seen guys further up river or warp speed downwind runs near sand bank.
Super smoother water up there. Need to be good upwind sailor
