Caution be cautious (excuse the pun) if kiting on the offshore side of the Natural Bridge (near Kingstown Barracks) in a SW'er. The water is nice and smooth like woodies but I dropped my kite there with no one else around and was quickly heading for the jagged rocks of Phillip Rock with my lines in a mess. It took me about 45 minutes to swim 300-400 metres back to shore due to not only the offshore wind but also the offshore current!!!

The Natural Bridge is good for launching on Easterlies and kiting out into Thompsons. Would love to do that with some swell at Transit For a SW'er Samon Bay is the go...

I was there last weekend and saw guys kiting in the morning easterly.

They were in Bickley Bay (I think) behind Dyer Island.

Conditions looked absolutely awesome. Unfortunately I was going for a surf - surf was **. Forgot the reason why I bought a kite!!!

Salmon Bay is pretty good too in the SWer, but you know what eat Salmon!!!

BUT IT WOULD ONLY BE SHOUTING TO A COMPUTER NERD WOULDN'T IT???!!!!

Caution - fresh seabreeze on Sunday.

Salmon picks up every bit of the wind and Rotto seems to blow at least 5 knots stronger than Perth.
