ho la possibilità di andare 1 mese in australia vicino brisbane. Oltre al surf, c'è la possibilità di fare windsurf nella east coast, vale la pena portare l'attrezzatura? qualcuno di voi ha letto per caso qualche articolo che parla di questo?

Su WindsurfItalia c'era un articolo di Tanja Emig sull'australia, che potrebbe fare al caso tuo, il numero però non me lo ricordo..magari ci guardo più tardi..
Mi sembra che a volte Tanja sia alla Seatex, ma non so se ci sia sempre...potresti provare a chiederle informazioni..

Valerio, ecco un pò di info, in inglese, ma piuttosto completo. Ciao e buon vento senza squali!.
Brisbane
An hour's drive further north and you're in Brisbane, where you'll find some fine flat water and chop jumping conditions on the bay there off of Point Wellington or Manly Point. Some say the sharks are bad in this area, but I've never seen one when sailing there.... but I did see some large jelly-fish which sting a little - as long as you're wearing your wet-suit you're OK. There are some very good spots for windsurfing around Brisbane. There are about 5 spots within an hours drive of the city centre. The national titles were just held off Wellington point in about 30-45 knots and 2-4 foot swell. Fantastic to watch but I'm not quite that crazy yet. As for the time of year anytime from sep to may is ok the wind is often better in our winter but you'll need a reasonable suit. a lot of guys sail all year round. Brisbane has plenty of shops for gear and a pretty good range of stuff.
North of Brisbane
Sunshine Coast
Golden Beach: There is a channel to sail in, sandbars give some protection from chop. Best in a South-Easterly.
Kings Beach ??:Good flat water sailing in a South Westerly or North-easterly, also easy to get out into the waves for wave sailors.
Maroochydore: Main Beach: Open water sailing for experienced sailors. Best in SE to N winds.
Cotton Tree: Excellent flat water sailing. Access to surf. There is an excellent sailing school here. Best in NE to NW winds.
Lake Cootharaba: Salt water lake, (not very salty though). Very large lake, all waist deep. Good camping facilities, Nice quiet place where everyone sails cats or windsurfers. Best in SE-NE
All of the above are about 1/2-1 hour North of brisbane.
Tin Can Bay: 1&1/2 hours north of Brisbane. Sheltered sailing in large area with some sandbars and sandflats. Never sailed there but have been fishing there a lot and seen people sailing. probably best at high tide. Best in NW-SE
Rainbow Beach : 1&1/2 hours North of Brisbane. Open surf sailing. Best in SE.
Hervey Bay:2&1/2 hours North of Brisbane
South of the Boat Harbour: Conditions SE wind and High Tide. Choppy bump&jump conditions in shallow safe waters. Or for experienced sailors, large swells across the channel to round island and woody island.
Next to the Urangan Pier: This is one of the best spots in Hervey Bay. Sailable in almost any wind but avoid it in a S-SE. Shallow protected water.(sometimes too shallow). Flat fast runs behind a large sandbar. You can sail from dead flat water through to big rough stuff. The water gradually changes due to the angle of the sandbar as you go north along the beach. If you want to have a great sail with beatiful gybing, come here in Northerly at low tide.
Beaches at Torquay, Scarness and Pialba: Good in a Northerly but not worth going to if you can get to the Pier.
Point Vernon:The Gables: Only sail here if you are experienced with waterstarts and gybes. Deep water, large swells. Only conditions to sail here in are SE-NE winds, and low tide.
Gatakers Bay: only sailable conditions are High tide, NW winds. The most awesome place in Hervey Bay to sail. It is only sailable a few times a year. If there is a strong Northerly blowing and no-one is at the Pier then you can bet they're at Gatakers. Really nice long-breaking swells (usually 3-6 foot). Clean wind. Nice flat water between the waves. This is the place to go if you are a full on wave sailor or even just a person who enjoys a bit of bump&jump. Be careful of the current and also a couple of sandbars which cause waves to stand up and pound you.
Toogom:1/2 hour North of Hervey Bay: Sailable in Northerly. Good flat water sailing behind a sandbar. And open water sailing for very experienced sailors only.
Burrum Heads:3/4 hour North of Hervey Bay: Best spot around when a SW is blowing. Good bump&jump conditions in NW-NE winds. Deep water, some sandbars. strong currents.
Elliot Heads: 3&1/2 hours North of Brisbane: This is the ultimate flat water sailing experience. Sail only in a SE and preferably at low tide. The currents and rips are strong.(no swimming allowed here) But the sailing is amazing. You can sail within 1/2 metre of a sandbar and the only noise you can here is you board skipping across glassy water. The gybes are amazing too. It is no wonder they held the Queensland slalom comp here. At high tide swells roll in so the conditions improve. Glassy water maxed out sailing straight onto small swells and straight up. The open water sailing is good too.
Emu park/Yeppoon: 7 hours North of Brisbane: Emu Park is good sailing in a SE.
Yeppoon main beach: SE-NE winds. Ok open water sailing. Bump&jump conditions.
Wind and Weather Conditions
September-February SE-NE averaging about 15 knots
February-May SE averaging 15 knots
May-August SW averaging 15 knots
August-September SE averaging 15 knots.
These values of wind speed are fairly conservative, we get periods of good 15- 25knot winds and periods of nothing. Generally the best times are October-February for Northerlies And Feb-May South Easterlies.

Ciao
alcuni anni fa ho fatto tutta la costa da Sydney a Cairns in macchina da solo. Ho visto moltissimi posti attrezzati per il surf ma solo a Surferparadise windsurfisti. Pertanto nn ho visto negozi dove affittavano attrezzatura ws. Portare la tua dovrebbe essere una faticaccia ma forse ne vale la pena. Il periodo era Agosto e vento nn ne ho visto molto comunque c'era un freddo cane! tienilo presente e porta le mute se andrai anche tu in Luglio/Agosto.
Se le informazioni che ti ha dato Lorenzo le avessi avute io magari riuscivo anche a divertirmi in acqua (ma sei il Lorenzo che abita vicino a casa mia??).
Ciao e buon divertimento.
