What sort of conditions can we get at Rottnest? Seems to be windier and have bigger waves than anywhere else on the west coast.

How do we get there and where are the kiting spots??
any flatwater bays?

Are the waves beach breaks or offshore reef breaks??

cheers

Iv windsurfer at rotto at stark bay, which is the north side of narrow neck. It is pretty off shore but there are very very fun waves, nice steep clean waves. No matter what bay you go to it will be good for some form or another ie flatwater, waves ...... I have had one of my best windsurfs there, me and 2 of my mates for 5 hours and yes it is bloody windy. We took out boat over, rigges on the boat and sailed from it, but i would imagine it would be a bit harder with a kite coz we just tied out gear off the back of the boat when we needed a rest. If you are looking for waves, make sure it is high tide otherwise there is hardly any swell, but when its hight tide.
Have fun searching

thanks guys!
