There are a few posts here requesting advice on best wind directions for certain spots. It got me thinking that I have also forgotten where to sail in what direction, not that I knew beforehand anyway! I have been creating a bit of a list as I read but not so sure on accuracy...can you more experienced guys please help to correct this if wrong and I can amend as necessary. Cheers.
St.Kilda
NW, W, S
Elwood
Anything but SE, E, NE
Green Point
NW, N, NE
Rickets Point
E
Depends on the type of sailing that you are doing, and also the "distance from the city"...
Rye: N - waves
Williamstown: N/NE - speed (watch for rocks, eels)
Altona: N/NE - speed (offshore)
Gnotuk or Chelsea: SW - waves
And don,t forget Ricketts in a Westerly , best session you will get on the bay when it,s on !!!
2nd that; ricketts point on a cranking westerly is the best wave on the bay. you can score some good waves off mt martha main beach too in the north west/westerlies
Any other additions?

I'd scrap St Kilda for a NW. Too "holey", straight offshore from the apartment blocks. Otherwise the list looks pretty good to me.
