I'm Sam and i'll arrive in Melbourne this Sunday, after 5 months in Perth.


i think i'll go kitesurfing in St Kilda, if it is good .. but when the season usually finish in Melbourne?

I'm not a good kiter and so i don't need a very strong wind ...

Cheers mates!

Sam

The place has 4 seasons in a day, an none for kiting..........sorry, better not take your gear.

Ignore Gruezi; he's just 'enlightened'.

WA is awesome, but Melbourne (VIC) aint so bad.
St Kilda, Port Melbourne, Hampton, Brighton & Altona are all within half an hour of Melbourne CBD.
If you wanna head a little further out you can go to Pt Henry (Geelong), Rye, or anywhere along the Great Ocean Road if youd don't mind a bit of surf.

I'm heading down from Nth QLD to Brighton on 9 April for a few days, is it worth bringing my gear along?

and so which is the best place to go kitesurfing near Melbourne?

Thanks

Perth

Yeh...funny, funny, hardy har har... ... har... I realise the wind fluctuates and is difficult to predict (certainly is up here) but when I checked out the KBV website it indicated that the season basically finishes in March. So... having never kited in Victoria I still ask the question, is it worth at least bringing down my gear? What's the water temp like? Perhaps I just shouldn't bother as my initial impression is that the wind sucks and the locals I have approached for some basic info aren't overly helpful. Thanks anyways

hey buschy. your in luck. april 9 is going to be a nice 19knot south westerly wind. yep bring your gear

sorry mate, i couldnt resist. yeah, bring ur gear down. like the last post said, there is wind all year round down here, its jut less often. Check the forecast just before u head down. it will be cooler than up there obviously, but bring a wettie and u will be fine
