Hi lads,
As I saw on the site, forecast for next months seems to be mainly based upon western winds, unfortunately all spots around sydney's airport are noticed to be best in Estern winds. Does any one of thoses spots works with Western winds ? Or did I took my kite licence for nothing ? ![]()
the bra' works good in westerly just make sure you bring you licence the locals check them all the time
Correct. Actually just up the road you could go to Bondi. SW gets you a cross-shore. That place never gets crowded so you should be ok.
I've heard it's forbidden for us kiters, to go kiting in Bondi being in possessions of any NSWKBA or so tag.
What about coogee beach then ? I've seen someone on his way to go kiting there. But on the NSWKBA map, they says it's forbidden...
May be able to try Palm Beach bayside, never been there myself but it seems like it would work in westerlies.
Also if you're up for a bit of a drive head to central coast. There's some spots around there (see nswkba website).
there are a few lakes in the mountains that would work well, but when a westerly blows up here, can be very out of control, would be worth a try, but would be a 3mm wetsuit caper.
They are good poley spots when very blowy, as no body else is on the water, but later on water gets too cold to go near, hypothermia sucks.
Nah you don't wanna do that. Didn't you see the F3 the other day
Why are these westerlies in Sydney that dangerous.
What's the difference between kiting them in Sydney/Kurnell or going up to the Entrance or somewhere else

not much ,gusterlies are gusterlies,not for the faint hearted or inexperienced. .Numerous rock groins in gusterlies (generally winds coming across land initially usually from the west in NSW )do increase the danger somewhat at Kurnell I suppose
