Where abouts near Byron?
I'm down a few hrs south from there at Coffs (Harbour)
If it's like here, NE dominant seabreezes in summer, Sth busters in winter

Hi Rico, I am a Byron Bay local. When you get here - let me know and I will hook you up with all the info you need. You may be surprised at some of the conditions you get here. Not to bad for a surf town. Cross shore wave-sailing, cross of wave-sailing and some good old onshore bashes.
I normally only read the wave sailing forum - so if you want to ask any more questions put your post there. Perry.
Oh and by the way - with your kit range you will sail a fair bit if you are keen.
