I don't think melville sails too well on an easterly, maybe pelican point?

Yes I was refeering to Melville beach, water looks very flat I saw kites there from accross the water but it looks very shallow for a long distance from the beach. Pelican point would be the best by easterly I take

If it is true east, Peli is a tiny bit gusty on the inside so I'd go to Majestic Pt.

Peli if there is any south in it all all, like ESE thru to SE

No Anita.... same walk, just more rocks in the knee deep water

If u end up downwind at Peli you have to come in thru boats (or worse yet, a restaurant and pier )

where is Majestic?

End of Ardross Street in Applecross.
Nice grass for rigging, sandy beach on the west side of the jetty, but you could end up on the other side of the river if the wind drops out or you have gear failure.

Easterlies are bad news for sailing anywhere on the river.
The wind speed varies a lot probably because of wind rotors off the Darling scarp.
It tends to make long lulls in the wind speed so you end up becalmed out in the middle for about 5 minutes at a time. Sometimes longer.
And then blown off the planet for a few minutes, and then ok breeze for a few minutes.
Unless you're on a big floaty board so you can just stand there holding the sail up while waiting for the next round, it's nothing to write home about.

If you're sailing Pelli point on an easterly, be careful of rocks near the shoreline west of the jetty where you will probably end up.

Hey Pwee except for Boxing Day! Fully lit on 5.2 for 2 hrs, then had to put a bit of effort in to get planing for the last hour but still good.

But yeah agreed with AUS1111, typically they are really gusty but better than sitting on the couch
