i had read earlier that the locals, ranger etc are not pleased about people kiting in the immediate area if you head nth along the tracks i am pretty sure you can find yourself a spot to get going on, try google earth it will show terrain pretty well

I was up there a few months ago and had one very quick session. Speak to the guy that runs the kayak rentals on the east end of the bay. He's a kiter and knows the rules.

Rules when I was there was no kiting in the main bay, you must be round the corner (i.e. towards the fishing area - east). Only a short walk but also only works on high tides.

Be considerate up there, lots of tourists, lots of snorkelers, lots of potential to get kiting banned.

was there on the long weekend recently - CALM trying to pass ruling to get kiting banned in the main bay but probably only going to get passed by December. Although it's so bl**dy crowded you wouldn't kite there anyway! Take a drive to Maud's Landing (need 4wd) to the penninsula and you'll have ample room to kite, no people for miles!
Only thing is it's an onshore breeze and myself being a beginner wasn't the best place to kite. I did go kiting with the bloke from the Kayak hire and he's very helpful in offering local advice and good spots in C-Bay. That dude lives the life!!

Exmouth has plenty of spots - wouldn't say it's any better wind wise, just has more to offer. Enjoy.

I see on the map there's a gravel road to a place on the coast south of Coral Bay (name starts with a W) - anyone with advice?

Hi Supra,

You are talking about Waroora. The kiting in Waroora or "Warra" isn't much good as the current that runs along the coast inside the reef takes a few knots off your windspeed and makes staying upwind a difficult task. You really need a 4WD to get to any of the spots in any case.

It's quite sharky. There was a woman bittten on the leg in knee deep water 18 months ago in the sanctuary zone at Pelican Point.

Head up to Exmouth for much better kiting conditions and waters. Locals at Exxy are tops, very laid back and friendly. You can also kite the S'Easters in the mornings at Bundegi and hit 2 sessions in a day.

Good winds,



Make the drive to
