wind in march..i dunno.. getting dodgy down there. easter is the stillest time of the year at walpole. - theres certainly wind in december jan.. belting SSE.
southerlys involve a little bit of swimming to get out far enough in front of the knoll.
The line marked is most probably the start line, heading west towards Newdegate (Snake) island..
there a lots of shallow spots and rocks in that section where the line is - gotta be careful at speed even with a wave fin. - but deep all the way across the inlet .. in front of the Knolls out to about 20m from the edges are dodgy, but theres brutal windshadow there as well. and over near the island there are some serious rock ledges that stick right out of the water.
in winter its hard cos the water is super fresh and freeekin cold so you sink.
If anyone wants to get technical and check current/salinities etc give me a bell. did my eng. thesis on the hydrodynamics of the place..- we've got a place down there too.
with a decent crew and 4wds and maybe a jetski there is some serious potential for epic wavesailing out at belanger beach too - wind direction depending. good range of smaller but superlong waverides and huge stonking boomers. Ive not had the company to get out there much though. - peaceful bay is nearby and much easier to sail. speed runs up and down the river mouth there are fantastic.. SUPER flat and pretty much always windy.
my general runs across nornalup inlet. - red demarkates walking across sandbanks.
Transect from Walpole inlet to the mouth of the Nornalup inlet (ocean)
mid april, kinda flat - example of stikyoutythings - some are semisubmerged, but see baty map
