Location of the wind indicator and weather station

This weather station is based at the Sea rescue building at Point Moore, Geraldton, Western Australia. Point Moore is the most Westerly Point in and around Geraldton and usually is the first place that picks up any wind and swell. If you would like more information about this location please click here.

To assist you we have created a table that will help you making a selection of what for kite or sail to use. This outcom of this table is based on a person that weight 75 kilograms and sails on a 74 litre Starboard Acid and Severne Sails in a normal southerly sea breeze at Point Moore.
