Where To Windsurf in Perth

February 11, 2009 at 4:16 PM | by | Comment (1)

Wash that winter right out of your hair with a trip to western Australia's sandy beaches. This is the last good month of the season for windsurfing, so whether you're a novice or a pro, Perth wants you.

The harbor in Perth shields it from the most violent currents of the Indian Ocean. Safety Bay, despite its name, more for people who have windsurfed before, but try Pelican Point at Matilda Bay for an easy approach. Windforce Windsurfing School will give you three days of beginner weekday lessons for $150 (about $100).

We pulled up a round-trip fare of $1215 from Los Angeles to Perth on Qantas, but you could probably go for much cheaper by flying to Sydney or Melbourne and snagging a discount fare.

or even better

if you're going to come all the way to Perth - we are the most isolated city on earth, after all - then land here and then head up the coast to Cervantes or Lancelin - very beloved windsurfing spots with very consistent wind. Just don't take a non-windsurfing friend with you coz sitting and watching on a super-windy beach is no fun.
