1. Point Moore
The most fully featured and convenient place to windsurf in the Geraldton area
with a grassy rigging area, big sandy beach, shower, toilets, parking lot,
picnic tables, and the "Sail West" windsurfing shop directly across the
street. Easily recognized because of the steel red and white lighthouse.
The negatives are no camping area on beach, a long walk from grass area to water,
and some risky reef areas in the water.
Situated 4km on a pint
Many kiters. Offers both wave and inside freestyle spot. Nice sandy beach.
Windsurf Conditions: All types. Windiest place because 4km on a point.

2. Sunset Beach
A sandy and beautiful windsurfing/kiting beach located on the north
side of Geraldton and almost on top of the "Sunset Caravan Park".
Some local sailors say this is the second best wave north of Perth (Gnarloo
being #1) when the conditions are just right. I guess the waves have to
be bigger than 3.5 meters and a fair amount of wind.
A good strategy is to use the Caravan Park as a home base because, as of this
writing, you get seven nights for the price of six for a total of $90 AUD per
week. The facilities are clean and comfortable. A good place to meet other
wind junkies.
