With the wind turbines and the coastal situation and what I think the rock type is I'll guess Cape Portland, though I've not been there.

Possibly.
*checks maps for the fourth time*
Only if it's the Calm Bay in WA, and you head west to Old Man Rock from there.

Yep, heading out to the headland on the southern side of the bay.

Spent a fair bit of time early that morning and the previous evening watching the crayfishers taking their little dinghies out to check pots. OK, not much of a swell at that time, but it still looked pretty hairy.

I was going to say Wedge. Why didn't I say Wedge?! Of course it will be, even though it looks more built up than I remember ... I hate this game. *sulk*

I remember that infrastructure from when I went up there.
No need for sulking NNW, I'm on a short weekend away and no decent photos with me. So I'm bequeathing my turn to you. Enjoy.

There are only three people in the world who cannot have a guess - due to the informal "same walk" rule - and as I don't know who the other two were, Tortoise is the only one against whom it can be enforced. So go for it.

eta: I suspect that was a guess and if I have interpreted it correctly, you're right.
