How many days a week could I expect to get in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane between January - April.

Hello,
If you are on holiday and have a good quiver of kites and boards, I would say you can go out on the water 6 to 7 days a week in Sydney / Botany Bay.
cheers

The plan is 1 board, 2 kites. Should have 13kts-30kts range.

Bring the biggest kite you have and an umbrella with lightning conducter cause we have had thunderstorms every single day for the last 10 days here in Sydney / Central Coast... but seems to become better. Has been a windy week so far.

It's been a bloody terrible summer for wind and waves so far-just trough after trough shutting down the sea breeze.

1 board 2 kites would normally be fine-hopefully by the time you get here the pattern has changed-although Jan-March it's normal to have the type of weather we've had for Nov/Dec this year.

We'll i certainly hope a batch of good weather is building up for when I get there. I'm coming to Australia to get away from crappy weather(we'll mostly the cold). Looks like I might have to make a trip the WA as well. I was hoping to get away with sticking to the south and east coast(simply for financial reasons, oh ya and for partying).

... let's try to put it another way: I think that 6 to 7 days a week we have above 8 knots of average wind at Botany Bay during the afternoon. With appropriate gear, any skilled rider under 100kg can start to go upwind in such conditions.

Ok, I'm looking for days kiteable with more than 15 kts. I'll go out in less but I'm talking fun days.
