Hi all,
just wondering if anyone has kited south west rocks and if so where and in what wind direction - going there this week (not that the forecast is so flash, but best be prepared!)
Thanks and hope to get a few reasonable replies, not that it ever happens on this site

How the bloody hell are ya?
i have been going there to trial bay for easter holidays for the past 15 years. so nice there. there is always people out kiting there. ill be taking my gear there this easter hoping to get some wind
The amazing thing about the spot is that the Trial Bay area hooks that far round that a westerly wind is onshore. Not many places on the East coast that west wind is onshore on the ocean.
Beautiful spot to hang,,pubs got nice food as well.
Hi there Holly, long time no see,
I've been going to SWR for ever. Like Geroa it gets a strong seabreeze effect. Trial Bay was fine for windsurfing but the offshore direction makes it pretty ordinary re launching. Back beach is fine, especially right in front of Back creek with an outrunning tide. You can walk around the foot bridge or just walk across the bar at low tide to get there.
Anything from the West is fine. Sthly's are out, very gusty offshore,(although I've done it plenty of time myself) unless you go to lighthouse beach. But get there early cause the swell picks up quickly there.
Check out little bay for a surf. Have fun & BTW do yourself a favour & have a $1.80 Macadamia icecream from the kiosk at Main Beach. It's a family tradition!
cheers
