The Fremantle Doctor
Paddling in Western Australia
For a downwind paddler, the Perth Coastline benefits from what locals call it “the Fremantle Doctor”, a term which describes the cooling afternoon sea breeze that occurs during the summer months in the southern areas of Western Australia. The Fremantle Doctor is at its strongest in the months of December and January, creating perfect conditions for downwind paddlers.
Western Australia has a strong connection and rich history in Ocean Racing, hosting a number of the nations most anticipated Surf Ski races. The Australian Ocean Racing Series (AORS) WA Race Week (typically held in November annually) hosts a number of these races including “The Doctor” where paddlers race from Rottnest Island to Sorrento Beach – easily regarded as one of the ultimate downwind races worldwide.
