What are your favorite anchorages where you can go surfing or kitesurfing from your boat. For me it's Palm Beach, Box Head and Fingal Bay. It's always hard to find places protected from the wind for anchoring, but windy for kiting. Any ideas?

Coffs Harbour is good in a Southerly, North Easter and an Easterly for kiting. Don't know that much about surfing but the last big southerly we had brought them out in droves inside the Harbour!

If you include windsurfing - which is much more conducive to anchoring - almost everywhere...but stoked to have pb speed sailing times at: entrance to American River (along the channel aka shark alley); off Reevesby Island (in lagoon); northern sand bank tip of Thistle island; cruising the bay at memory cove; teaching kids at Emu Bay, Rapid bay; and of course on almost any Seasterly at Sellicks, Seacliffe, semaphore or across the gulf at Stansbury Spit; Black Pt; Pt Vincent bank.
OK - very sth Aussie of me, but windsurfing and sailing always go well together on a summers afternoon! Morning Sail, followed by afternoon windsurf! Hmmm when is summer coming around?

That Port Lincoln area with all those islands looks pretty cool. I recon I'd be windsurfing rather than kiting down there too, so I could out run those sharks.
