Hi everybody,
this is nully from Italy again. one year ago I asked how good it was windsurfing in Tasmania since I was headed to the AMC to do naval architecture. In the meantime I got accepted and I should begin on February 2017. So I figured I got time to make sure I am headed to the right place windsurfing wise.
I got a little put off when somebody told me temperature can get pretty cold there and in winter there is the need for booties and hoods…so how long does this booties and hood thing lasts?? But more importantly I would really appreciate if somebody could tell me how many days a year the wind gets at 15 knts or stronger being that the threshold beyond which I can windsurf.

to be precise I am from Verona, Italy and I use to sail on Garda Lake where the wind is pretty consistent all year round. This means we sail from beginning of March to mid November (than the air temp gets under 10c and it is no fun anymore even) and in this time frame between the north wind that blows in the morning and the south wind that blows in the afternoons we can get 5 day a week of good windsurf on average. So measuring the goodness of the windsurfing condition this way, how many windy days/year (15+ knots) would you say there are in Tassie? doesn’t matter whether it is north or south, I’ll have a van and be able to move, but I will be living in Launceston attending AMC.

thanks
Nu
