hi im new to windsurfing , was hoping some one could fill me in on the places most people go out . Have been going in the lake at west lakes but would like to go to the beach but would like there to be others out .
Welcome to the addictive sport that is wsrfn bluetroopy -
If your westlakes way the friendly crew at semaphore are always good for a chat and there seems to be crew of all levels sailing there - sellicks is the other spot but I wouldn't recommend it for a newbie until you can water start - it's offshore and can be very frustrating - seacliff is good but it can turn off quicklyduring the afternoon
Good luck
Thanks , i live up hawthorn way but i dont mind the drive . Do you think there will be foke out to day or are the wins to light ?

It about 10-12 knots here at brighton and looks like it might pick up a bit which will drag a few of the locals out including me - current conditions though are good if you have a bigger board and looking to move on from WL. I would expect sems to be the same.
Plenty of boaties and SLSC members out there to keep you company anyway
Id be heading to the beaches Seacliff and down Semaphore way.
After teaching my son at both locations (Lakes and Beach) the seabreezes at Seacliff was by far the best location and cleaner than the CRUDDY/DIRTY/PARASITE FILLED/CARP INFESTED lower lakes.Plus as you get better the odd chop/wave making it more fun.
Seabreeze and lower tide mean you can touch the bottom a fair way out and a 10-15kt consistent wind.
thank to everyone that posted , i will start to head down to the local beaches . Hope i see some others out . do most of you do your rigging on the beach or is there a grass area?
At Semaphore there is grass. Head to the second carpark on the esplanade once you turn from Bower road if you want to sail with others.
Plenty of grass at Kingston park for rigging, nice pebbles at sellicks, also nice grass at semaphore, we are pretty spoilt here in adelaides
