Before or After Xmas
Normally NE seabreezes before and after we get the SE.
accommodation wise anywhere along the sunshine coast is nice Caloundra,Mooloolaba,Maroochydore ect.
might even get a trip to Burrum if it Blows SE

Thanks Vando,

I'd be there from Xmas to NY.

So what sort of wind / sail size are we talking about?

Bring everything, especially the big stuff!
Lots of apartments In Caloundra, plenty right on Golden beach which is the main windsurfing launch for flat water stuff, warm clear water just watch the sand bars, excellent rigging and BBQ areas and some great banter with the locals if you want some wave action there are a couple of launches, Happy valley and Moffats beach.

Windsurfing shop just around the corner Sunshine coast sailboards and just a little further away Manta sailboards, Brissy has a couple of shops too, Board crazy and Good times.

Thanks. I've sailed Golden Beach, great spot and facilities. I can see Moffats on the map but not Happy Valley?
