I'm getting back into windsurfing with a view to foiling and am getting very frustrated with the light winds and rain of Northern NSW right now. Is there anywhere I could go for a week now and expect to be sailing in decent winds every day?
I'd prefer the East coast as I expect it would cost a bundle to take my board and rig by air.
I've heard Mandurah is great but no idea of the winds there right now. If the Fremantle Dr is working at present it might be cheaper to rent a board and rig than lug gear to the West coast and back.
Anyway, I'm happy to listen the advice of you gun sailors.
Thanks,
Greg.
Lake George, SA if you like flat water sailing. If you dont mind a few days in the week on larger gear, you can probably sail every day for next week from this Saturday 'till friday. 
If I had a week better if you've 2 or 3.
West - still some Dr. and frontals starting.
East - Elliott Heads, seems to get more wind.
Byron it's most easterly point.
Nowhere I can see.
Vanuatu is looking the best place to go with 7 days of solid wind being forecast.
I've been watching the weather in WA over the last few months to get a feel for how consistent it is
Was surprised that in early Feb the consistancy stopped. Went from 5-6 days of solid to 2-3 days.
Does the wind shift south at this time of year because the SW of WA looks better on the charts.
The west coast is probably your only option and geraldton would probably have the most wind.
If you fly Virgin you can add 2 extra bags in check baggage with the free one they give you, that make 3 x 23kgs bags, plenty enough for a quick trip to the west coast and book mid week for cheaper flights, i did it over xmas for about $500 each way but had to fly out of newcastle which is always a bit more expensive.
Check out Noumea, the SE tradewind blows nearly every day this time of year. It's only 2.5hr flight from Sydney and Air Calin are very generous with Windsurfing Gear. I was there in Jan and it blew 15-20kts 10 days straight. The local scene is awesome.
