Going from previous experience, I'd say it's debatable. At the moment, Windfinder says it's going to be light. I've been finding that to be a lot more accurate than the BOM forecasts for here.

Problem is we're sort of in between the Capricornia and Hervey Bay BOM forecasts. Even when the BOM readings say it's windy here, it can be vastly different at Elliott because the readings are taken at the airport (a long way from Elliott).

Fort Lauderdale Florida has balmy FNQ weather and 20kns NE with an air hose on the beach to pump your kite. Only problem is that I'm in rainy Sydney . ****e...

Does it seriously have air on the beach? Damn thats an awesome idea. I can imagine dozens of petitions flooding into council offices around the country already

Air hose is brilliant!

Best is the kite helper though.

There is ZERO wind here...going to need to burn something soon.

Of course, one easy solution to having to request an air hose on the beach is to move over to foils...go on. Get rid of your pump...You know you want to...come fly a Venom...
