Has anyone ever tried that big sandbar in Port Hacking (between Maianbar and Bundeena) during a westerly? Looks like it could have potential, but perhaps not many good spots to launch from aside from a long walk out along the sandbar...
I once had a crack at Jibbon (east of Bundeena) in a strong NW. Wasn't too bad, but wouldn't support more than a few kites and it was super gusty.
I've often thought of checking that out. But problem is, to the east just above the sandbar is overhead power lines, and to the west the land is very high, so i'd imagine the wind would be pretty bad.
At high tide there is a big area of water over the sand flat, low tide the only water is a thin channel under the power lines. A short waist deep walk across the channel from Maianbar will get you onto the sandbar, but close to the power lines.
The westerlys rip thru the bay (to the east of the sandbar) so i'd be very insterested to sus out the sand flat side
edit:
I just a good look at google maps to refresh my memory... I think as long as you dont stuff up and get your ass dragged eastery across the sandbar I think it would be pretty easy to avoid the power lines. But if you do
