Green arrows blowing From WNW to W for tomorrow morning until around 2pm.
Where is the best place to get a sail in around Safety Bay/Rockingham for these conditions?
Thanks in advance.

Used to be North side of Point Perron, flat water with small waves. But I haven't been there for about 20 years, so it may have changed. I think it wasn't too bad due west but any south in it is off shore.

depends point peron is crap now knee high waves on top of sharp limestone, better off on safetybay bay side about halfway back to penguin island if theres swell its good fun there for jumping and its a chest high sand bar underneath

Would have been awesome. Too bad I was sitting at home with a frozen joint in my back. I sailed that spot you were talking about 2 weeks ago after work when we had a westerley. I had a 5.2 and was overpowered. Guys with smaller sails looked like they were having a great time.
Wish I could have gone out today. Physio on Wednesday and should be right in about a week.

Full south breeze, 18kts. Full west swell thru the isands maybe 1.5m, scary long breakers with hollow backs, if you did not jump you fell!
Shoalwater Bay was the best for years.

I still can't believe it.

Cross shore down the line head high at my local which is known for its calm flat water. Just me and jsnfok out. Where the #uck did that come from? You certainly don't get those conditions every day. Full stoked!!!!
