Currently in Lano and fancy a change from here and Coro.

Seabreeze is showing monday and tuesday as potentially ok. Margs
Looks good too, but my wave sailing is not up to margs.

Have one week left here in WA and want to make the most of it. So
thought I'd ask those in the know about places down south.

Long way to go. WA can be deceptive to people from other countries. My inlaws have students staying from overseas all the time and they look at wa on a page in the atlas and think it is the same size as their country, particularly the UK and Japan. They forget to read the scale correctly. Eg the UK will fit entirely between carnarvon and Albany.

Esperance is an 8 hour drive from Perth and you'll be tired when you get there so if you're going, leave now to sail on Monday.

Your not wrong about it being a long way. Left Lano at 930am this morning
and arrived here at 7pm

Anyone able to tell me which spots to check out. I have a map but no idea
which of the many beaches to visit.

Thanks

Just saw a video on Windsurfing WA and looked like they were at Hellfire Bay. While you're there check out Lucky Bay. It is the whitest sand in the country (wins the annual competition every year). It's mind-blowingly beautiful.

Have fun there. I love Esperance.
