Weather

The best sailing season in Geraldton is from December to February (inclusive). During this period the area gets regular strong sea breezes. Typically these are of the order of 18 - 25 knots. This means that sailors (at least wave sailors) are using 4.5 - 5.0 sq m sails. Slalom sailors use whatever Slalom Sailors use. The sea breeze comes in at anywhere between 10 am and 3 pm, usually at about 11am. The typical scenario starts with a land breeze (offshore) blowing during the night, and a sudden wind as the sea breeze comes in. This sea breeze comes from the S/W, which is cross shore for the main sailing area. A description of the weather patterns that are associated with a good sea breeze can be seen here.

It is popularly believed that the wind is a little stronger in Geraldton than in Lancelin or Perth.
