Don't know of anywhere.
hang on... duh duh duh duh....
Shearwater A.K.A. "SW" works if you float out 50m -100m.
(Sorry - train of consciousness going on here)
But where else is there? Anywhere that really works in a SW in South East Queensland?
could try cudgen? but then run the risk of driving all that way and it being too offshore ( u r already down that way arent u ken?)
but the obvious answer - u really need to just bite the bullet, load the car up and go to wello or viccy point, mainly wello if more west than southwest
wello westerlies are almost as consistent as a goldcoast southerly and fun coz there are so many windsurfers there (over 20 on sunday just gone), and loooong runs without boats, seaplanes, aquabogans
on a SW to NW, a good indicator that wello will have wind, or soon get wind, check the current observations for:
- Amberly
- Archerfield
- Oakey
If they have 20 knots-ish, wello is almost guaranteed to get nice wind, especially if air is 20 degrees or less
i meant just south of cudgen creek. the car park at the start of the road that runs paralell with the creek. it has fairly easy access to the beach. i think a ne wind is dead side shore, so i'd imagine a bit southwest would be side shore? i've sailed there a couple of times on a ne
can't really compare gc westerlies to wello westerlies. it's a whole different quality of wind. someone who's only ever sailed the goldcoast in a westerly could never believe a westerly could be so good 
there is that extremely rare occasion where the spit has wind, like last saturday (with some consistency at that) and wello has nothing, but it is very rare
Just did some google map research, and a due southerly is a slight onshore here at Casuarina, so IF there is wind, it should be quite a good location.
I can see why Wello would be good in a westerly, with the north facing bay, but what about a southerly ? Do you launch from a different spot in a southerly ?? It would be a direct offshore if you launched from the centre of the bay, would it not ??
hey there was one other place for a westerly that doesn't get a mention much.
scarborough at redcliffe.... not sailed it myself.
i go to wello and love it. bongaree at bribie is by far the best spot though if the wind stays SW.
and the wind needs to stay SW, what hurts bongers is when the wind swings from SW to west. in a westerly it's not the best.
Cool vid. The water looked a lot smoother than when I sailed a string NW there. NIce and blue too !!
I think I'll go for a helmet mount of the GoPro after watching that.
