Found this website, does it ring true?

Well there is something seriously wrong with that list, or at least a LOT missing.

For a start, The weather station on the tip of Wisons Promontory is missing and would have a far higher average wind speed that Sandy Point or Port Weshpool, neither if which have an official BoM weather station with anemometer, and as far as I know, there are no official observations taken at either, so where the hell did those figures come from?

Also missing from that list is Gabo Island which has an official BoM station and is probably right up there with Wilsons Prom for windyness!

i can also think of a few places in Tasmania that would be right at the top of the list as well all year round, and someplaces in Western Australia which are VERY windy at 3pm for more than half of the year at least.

And on and on........

Its a load of Crock!

so how's the have a life/job opportunity in Australia for a windsurf fan from Europe?

It seems very expensive to live in Australia but the salary is also high so getting a job is a must - can't live there and seek for a job...

Anyway....would look for flat water long distance spot? I guess sandy point and port welshpool are both flat water and waves?

not sure yet. either sales or forklift driver.

MacQuarie Island is almost certainly the windiest spot in Australia.
I don't like your chances of getting a work visa if your special skill is being a forkie, though.

so it's like you have too many immigrants already working there?

No. Australia has always been fussy. When my family migrated to Australia in early 80s, my Dad (UK citizen) required a qualification.

When the borders get reopened, if you're young enough, you might get a backpacker's visa for up to 2 years if you do some work in agriculture. WA windsurfers might know if Carnarvon irrigated farms use a lot of labour and how good the sailing is there.

the questions is though how much energy do you have left after a day of agroculture job.....

I imagine it like UK but much bigger and exotic?

McQuarie Island is half way to Antarctica. No one lives there except birds and seals. There's a weather station there and there used to be a radio relay station. It's just a cold windy rock in the Southern Ocean.
