Last 2 weeks of September are still very flukey in Gero, your better off going further north, Shark Bay would be better with flat water, Exmouth even better still, seabreezes are in by then, and lot's of flat water. And Warm!!!

Go North Hellema. We head to Exmouth at the beginning of every October. Great winds and something for everyone. Long drive, but after 4 months of winter and cold fronts its worth the trip. Looks like some seabreezes are starting to stir that way already.

Town beach if it is an easterly and you want a sail in the morning. I prefer to go for a surf instead. Then west side to Ningaloo and take your pick of beaches - flat water or waves.

Mmm, I was in Denham in January and I loved the place. Might be an idea. I know that there is a kitsurfing school up there so there must be some wind. Why not, only 400km extra.

Remember, kites need only a fart to be overpowered

soo... take her? Hehe, she can get your beers and stick em in the eski while your out sailing

Was in Gero last year around early October and hit a week of really great weather... ...for bloody fishermen! The day before and the morning we left were 30K so I watched the graph and noted only three more days of wind, four without etc. Can be a bit fickle at that time of year.

Cheap shacks at Point Moore in the Quokka for about $50 per day. Coronations north of Gero may be good if you are self sufficient camper. Shops about 15-20km away, so not too bad...

Take a weed fin for Denham. If the wind is up the ribbon type weed can get semi thick. Nice and shallow though! Or even Big Lagoon 3 km inland from town. Denham caravan park is good value put take a decent mallet to get your pegs in.

Maybe Gnaraloo Bay would be getting strong breezes about then? See if you can get in at fisherman's hut for a few days. Should be pretty slow that time of year up there.

Carnarvon rivermouth may be reliable too, though on high tides. Check the charts. Caravan park on the northern shore is 50-100m from launch site. Favoured by teabaggers due its shallowness.

Thanks for all that information.
I will still give Denham a shot but for next year I might try Exmouth.
Although I might book my holidays at the end of October next year which most likely make Geraldton sailable.

I plan to give my girls (11 and 9.5) windsurf lessons as a Christmas present. If the lessons work and they like windsurfing (fingers crossed), I could take them to Exmouth next year during the October school holidays. Enough other things to do there anyway.

So many plans, hope some of them turn out well.
