aye matt winds on and off atm but typically were getting gusty southeasters, depending on what you want flat water or surf??? i would suggest shearwater at runaway bay for flatwater and narrowneck for surf but hit up www.seqka.com and ask the guys on their for more details
Thank you for the replies and the link to SEQKA site.
Have been checking out the wind stats etc. What direction is good up your way? And how many days has it been kiteable over the past couple of weeks (we have had about two down here).
Not sure of the exact suburb - but I think it around coolangatta.
So couple more questions. I am up Gold Coast way this weekend.
1/ where is the best place to find the forecast (ie. is the below correct from BOM)?
2/ what wind direction am I looking for?
3/ The forecast for collangatta seems to be good but the wind speed recorded on sea breeze doesnt match forecasts - why not?
Thanks. ====== Southeast Coast Waters, Double Island Point to Coolangatta: A strong Wind Warning is current. Tuesday until midnight: S/SE winds 20/25 knots reaching 20/30 knots mainly offshore. Seas to 2.5 to 3 metres. A 2 metre SE swell. Isolated showers. Wednesday: S/SE winds 20/25 knots. Lighter S'ly winds close inshore early. Seas to 2.5 metres. A 2 metre SE swell. Isolated showers. Thursday: S/SE winds 20/25 knots. Friday: S/SE winds 20/25 knots.
the wind meter for the spit measures what directly comes off the ocean being that it is half way out along the spit. take a bit off that to gauge what gets into the flattie goodness of shearwater and lodders creek kitespots of the boradwater.
