Coral Bay in November?? any one done it??

hi there guys, have any of you ventured North to Coral Bay or Exmouth around November, and if so what are the condtions like.

We are planning a quick trip up there and I'm wondering whether to take the boat or will it be too windy for a tinny. I spent 5 weeks there in April/ May and have been going there for the last 6 years or so, so i'm very familiar with the place, but never at that time of year. If its too windy then i'll stay land based and have a relax and a dive instead.

 

love to know your thoughts Jared

im with Feral, take the tinny, sure enough if you dont you will get some great days to be out there and if the tinnys at home you would be kicking yourself, plus with the tinny you can get out to some of the dive points just off shore in coral bay, in exxy you could go fishing inside the reefs , out from the marina or bundegi and if all else fails you could go up the creeks chasing muddies

It will be windy, you may luck a day or two, but expect it to be blowing pretty strong.

thanks for the feedback guys,

 I might just drag it along just in case, I know I will be very dark if I don't take it and the conditions are good

if nothing else it can be used as a trailer to take your stuff up in and its better than a trailer as you can go fishing in it, in Coral Bay you might find some sheltered areas for fishing or just use as a diving platform, some excelent diving around there , just watch out for the huge spanglies , they are verry friendly if you have an u/water camera dont forget to take it as you would be spewing leaving it at home
