My mate reckons Gnaraloo 07 was busier than a cat trying to bury a sh!t on a frozen pond. 30 guys on the water till sunset. He is prone to exaggeration (which I've told him about millions of times) so is he speaking kerap or is it as punishing as he says. I'm going in Oct so need to know whether to take my spear gun or not.
Dude, you should be so lucky! I've seen it where there is 40 wind surfers out and half a dozen kites and that was a long while back before kiting at Gnaraloo became popular. I'd expect a minimum dozen kiters out on top of that now.
When the swells small (waist to head high), it gets crazy packed. Lots of shouting at each other. When it's up over mast high, the crowd thins substatially. Thank god!
The wise go up early (late August early Sept) and surf when it aint windy enough and when the odd windy day does come in, you'll have it amongst two or three others. Sweeeeeet! Take up spearfishing as well and you'll never be bored.
Enjoy Pitt Street!
Good winds,
