I am looking at getting in an early (8.30amish) session tomorrow with a mate before this SE system washes out.

We are both beginners - just at the point where we are beginning to stay upwind for a couple of runs - but not consistently.

We have been kiting at Brighton-Le-Sands so far - mostly at First Groyne in NE conditions.

Tomorrow will be our first time kiting a SE in Sydney.

From the maps and common sense, it appears that as long as there is enough E in the SE, First Groyne and a little further south will be equally as good in the SE as the NE.

Our other option is Boat Harbour - we have a 4WD and the entry fee isn't a hassle - but is it worth the extra drive?

My research seems to indicate that it is golden in a SE, but we are coming from the Neutral Bay area - so we are talking a valuable extra 30-40 minutes that we could be kiting.

I am super keen for some real flat water - I feel like every time I am gaining ground upwind on Botany Bay a particularly big piece of chop grabs me and spits me out - if it is really flat water at Boat Harbour in a SE it might be worth the trek.

Opinions anyone?

Real early-like done by dawn-damn it-the waves came up and it would be great if there was wind.

Was out boat harbour @ 10am waiting waiting max 12kts took the SUP out but was stinging for a kite so much for 15-20 as predicted!!!

Bah.

I rolled out of bed at 7.30am, looked at the yellow arrows and went back to sleep.

Thought about going out this afternoon, but it looked like it had too much west in it, and that it only got up for a short amount of time.

Fricking 3 day long weekend with now wind - what is with that.

Back at work tomorrow, and the Arrows are green every afternoon this week.
