Yes Green Island is always 10 to 15 knots higher then Cairns area but it is not a good setup. No resonable beach area and surrounded by reef. Do not try in a low tide! Windsurfers like it but have not heard good things from kiters.

I have ridden green island 2 x and it is good
the boat ride is 45 mins and costs around $50

the best place to ride is on the eastern tip

but be aware of the tides it is too shallow on a low tide less than .9m

also the wid meter is 30 m up so take off 5 kts to get a more accurate reading.

we took 50 riders there for kiteweek 2004 but absolutley no wind

but its a cool place to snorkle etc

if you go it is best to take your own rescue boat as if you have a swim the next land it new guinea...


best foracst to ride it is 20kts

have fun bruce
