I think everyone would have to agree, WA is the place to go. Where depends on how much you have to spend, how much you want to travel, and how far from the city you want to be.
The other states may have 'some' wind, but from what I have seen, nothing like WA, and for you, just the right time for the good wind. Don't leave it too late, and get there as soon as you finish your job.
Seabreezes are usually becoming less common in February as cyclones and low pressure systems up north intoduce a lot of persistent troughing (Like we're seeing now in fact).
Best wind is in the south west, south of Bunbury - Margaret River, south coast, Esperance. I haven't sailed those places in February but that's where I'd be looking.
Esperance is really beautiful and less of a challenge than Margaret River.
^^^Agree. SW WA is the place to go. Nice and warm at that time of year with a great breeze to boot. 
Just watch out for "the man in the grey skin suit' 
If you don't want to go as far as WA the limestone coast area of SA just over the border with Vic has very reliable 18 to 25 seabreezes in Feb.
Robe, Beachport through to Nene valley and Port Mac all have great conditions from reef breaks to bump and jump or speed on lake george at Beachport.
Not many sailors to keep you company though lucky to count on one hand the local guys around here still getting out.
hey guys!!!
Thanks again for the responces !!! i guess i am heading to wa then.
all the info and pointers have really helped me, after 10 hours of prooning trees with a chain saw , my head is pretty fried!!
so my pommie skin! i asure you that i am blacker than most tarmac.
so the final plan for me is sell my van in Melborne/ Sydney then hop on a plane to perth , then by a van 4x4 and hit it up for a month, fish when its not windy and windsurf when it is.
cheers

Take the drive across the Nullabor, it will only take you 3 days or less from Vic to corros. It's an experience, you'll only need a 4x4 if you head right up north or want to go to spot X at corros.
There are a few good spots on the way that you can sail as well, you really should experience the Australian wild side......ohhh if you break down and plan to leave you van, just set fire to it to save the locals having to do it for you.
