Im off to Cairns for a week, next week. Is it worth kiting at the moment? If so where?
There's plenty of threads Cairns to Pt Douglas to search, but nah, it's not worth kiting at the moment. Golf is much better this time of year.

I hear that there are a lot of disappointed people up in Cairns at present.
The forecast is certainly not the reality, and there are people sitting on the beach looking out to sea for white caps that don't arrive!
I'd be heading to C. Flattery with Ant. It's been good from all reports.
As usual the forecast is good but the stark reality is its anything but....
Blowing Pt Douglas and further north but Yorkeys has been terrible. Just had 4 days off with a great forecast (20 to 25 knots) but didnt get anything above 10 knots
and back to work tomorrow
Cooktown!!--So much wind and so few kiters
Tradewinds kicked in about 10 weeks ago and haven't missed a week on an 8m
Used the 11m about 3 times and can't remember when it was calm enough to go fishing on the reef
Is there anything between Pt D and Cooktown that is worth doing a day trip to if the wind isn't good in Pt D
You might have heard of C. Tribulation or the Daintree Rainforrest. People come from all over the world to see it.
Low Island, Diving on the reef, etc etc.
Talk to Bretto for Water Sports.
If you want Guaranteed wind, C. Flattery....
as cpt gum. said. north of port ecxcellent, south of port no good at all. stay away from cairns all together!!
Im heading up that way too... looking at Cape Flattery area... im assuming the best spots are around the river mouths any tips on some of the better ones up there....? got our 4WD booked and small kites ready..
pffffft.... what are they gunna do.... bite me.... ohhh big tough salty....
Note to self... land everything...!
Has anyone been up recently..? besides Ant.. (don't want to steal his secret spot) River mouth, Nice sand bar etc.....
I'm willing to trade you for a few secret spots down my way... haha
The mouth of the Annan River is great and do a search for info on Archer Point too!
