Hey Rosey,
l've lived in broome for the last year and at the moment winds are crap and won't really be any good til early October. As for town beach a 3m croc has been wondering around there for the last couple of months so l wouldn't be kiting there at the moment. Town beach is also a fairly hazardous beach to kite (rock seawall on one side, tall mangroves on the other and a very narrow beach in between). There is no kite shop/hire here so own gear is needed. If your coming up soon e-mail me and l'll be happy to show you round.
Town beach is not really a good spot, at low tide (and they get some, Broome makes our 9m tides in Darwin nothing, they get 12m tides, yikes!!) you have f@#king rocks everywhere with thick black mud, that sticks to everything. Not for the faint hearted, you really need a local to show you the where and where nots. And, with the sou'easters this time of year, a west facing beach means the wind is off-shore at Cable beach. I tried and even though there might be some strong winds, it can't be used properly. Mind you, I got lucky once and got a seabreeze, light but sailable (just).
Anyway, there could be worse places to go...
cheers,
Robert.
ps watch out for the dirty old naked men on cable beach, not pretty
