To sail even most of these spots is going to take over a month i suspect, and to enjoy it maybe more.

Fluro's the man with the knowledge if you can get him to talk sense just for a moment
From my understanding you start in the north at Gnarraloo October then slowly move south Geraldton Lancelin Margaret river and end up in Esperance for summer. The Euros do it over 5-6 months. Over 4 weeks you couldn't beat Geraldton and Gnarraloo.

The Ant is correct again about WA but continues to laugh at my suggestion for planting bananas at Cambridge in preparation for global warming and the looming banana extinction ( see Mercury last week)

Don't follow Flouro's travel tips. It took him about 10 years to make the return trip

Gnarraloo is the spot buzzy Simon and I got 8days out of 9 half to three quarters 4.7-5.3
Last year got 3 out of 3 same wind smaller swell
Next time won't sleep under the stars with only canned bake beans that's not good for the gut Fluro Le chef extraordinaire used his brain and supplied tinned spaghetti for the team.
Next time stay in cabins with real food and real friends

I Know they don't have single person cabins up there and blow up dolls positioned near the Windows is not going to fool anyone that your there with some mates

Ps. All trips 1997 till 2007 including photo(2001) were powered only by tinned spaghetti, Mars bars , muesli bars and warm water , quick to melt ice was solely to keep beer cold
