This time of year, winds are 20-30 knots in mornings till afternoon, air temp in up 20s to low 30s, water temp 25.
It's untapped for wind Sports, cause you need a decent size boat to get to island's for right wind direction to beach.
There is swell, down winder opportunities, island hopping, flat water and wave breaks
Currently sitting of barrow in 25 knt side shore conditions.
Been like this all week.
A week on a live aboard cat with all the toys would exhaust and satisfy.
I know some one will mention sharks

used to windsurf the easterlies in winter around karratha/dampier, werent 20/30kts inshore more 12 to 25kts range. Hearsons Cove was the main spot, there was a little cove next to Hearson's cant remember the name (Cowrie Cove), that had nice little swells I used to ride, but onshore riding, that was my fave spot.

Here's a google earth position of what I'm talking about = earth.google.com/web/search/Hearsons+Cove,+Burrup+WA/@-20.62510247,116.81340718,-0.7563994a,4909.03223227d,35y,0.00000083h,0t,0r/data=CjwaDgoKL20vMGs1bXYzMhgBIiYKJAmBkLu2Ik1AwBFWO1XUO1FAwBmgDmk-iexcQCG_oKrMMOhcQEICCAE6AwoBMEICCABKDQj___________8BEAA
