Does Wello work in an easterly on the eastern side of the sand bank as well as it does in a westerly on the western side of the sand bank

A true easterly wind is rare at wello and normally has some north or south in it.
Eastern side of bank is good in an E/NE but bit of rubble to look out for when the tide starts getting low.
E/SE is best infront of jetty.

yep very rare though also works ENE-NE which is more common Sep-Dec.

Thanks for that it's just the wind looks like it is going to be stronger up there at the moment but if it gets strong enough down here i'll stay on the Gold Coast but keeping my options open

This is some rare days as Vando said when it blows from the east & the winds are mostly very light.
