Check out waksa.org.au for locations. Would say all but maybe Pelican Point. Just drive around the coast on a windy afternoon and look out for the bright crescent things in the sky.

Remember, here in Oz the work day stops when the wind comes in / it goes over 30C / there's some horse race over east / etc etc. Check out your Lonely Planet for more handy cultural pointers.

Where are you planning to live / kite?

If you're planning on staying in the city, then Melville is always populated with kiters from the second the seabreeze kicks in at about 3pm

Thanks guys for the responses.

I'm aware of the waksa site .... just wanted to know the best spot where there are peeps no matter the time of day. dont want to be driving/phoning around for a spot with peeps.

I should be staying at a couple of places in perth and freo. not sure where exactly yet.

@foosh - ur not wrong in getting the lonely planet .... completely lost touch with the place I grew up in. tho i should have the kiting side covered in melb.


Kev

The only advice I have for you is that Perth and Freo are a lot bigger (geographically, not population) than you expect, and that you pretty much need a car to go to any of the beaches, especially Woodies. If you have a car I would definitely plan a day trip up to Lancelin as well. I'm guessing since you are from the UK your main kite will be a 12m, so I think Melbourne will be a lot more enjoyable for you, unless you have a 9m in your kit bag as well. I found that on my 12m I was coming in just as the locals' day was starting in Perth.

All you have to do is drive up and down the coast looking for kites....have a ball

The weather has been absolute crap, worst start to season in 6 years...El Nino is gone and it is freezing and troughed out

Kiting daily.

Geeza. you`re from the U.K. You`ll be loving the weather here right now. No wet suites needed.

Where in Perth will you be staying, do you know yet?

when in perth/freo .... most the time in duncraig (north of perth) and part of the time wintrop (freo) ... will check waksa site for locations ....

Pity you aint coming to Sydney. We've had the best start to the season ever Im told.
So far atleast 3-4 days kitable a week.... good for me.

Enjoy perth. Any of the London lot coming with you?
