Windsurfing in Western Australia Gnaraloo Sailing Conditions. It can start to get flukey in January, however there can also be some good conditions through into February. The area is really better for the experienced sailor, since the coral bottoms and wave size make it an area for the experienced sailor. It is reported that there are areas in the bay for the novice wave-riders as well, where there is slightly greater depth and less prominent coral. You sail in booties in Gnaraloo.
Coral cuts can be nasty and slow to heal.
The following description is taken from Per Ronnbak's old Gnaraloo page. It's a little bit tricky to climb down the rocks to the launch-site. But if you do so you are going to bee rewarded with epic wavesailing on probably one of the best windsurfing reef breaks in the world. Average size of the waves are 2.5 meters, but there are also days with only one meter and BIG days with well over mast high. If there is mast-high waves gnaraloo offers very fast down the line wavesailing.
