Hi I am new to Perth and still learning how to change direction, and stop!!! I check the weather graphs here, but I need to know what is the ideal wind directions for Peli point? Many thanks
Pelican Point is not recommended for beginners. Its an Intermediate to Advanced location. Wind direction is almost always S or SW, which measns direct onshore conditions straight onto the beach. It can also be turbulent wind close into the launch/landing area because of trees and buildings - meaning you could get pulled into the stone retaining wall. There is now a sign up (CALM/WAKSA) at the entrance to the grassed area next from the car park with all these details. Also check out www.waksa.org.au for the site guides. Hope that helps Graeme
I did go there a few times and got the kite stuck in a tree initially, through no fault of my own, of course... Also some kind person saw me coming in and landed me tright on all that ****e by the beech,, hmm lovely!!
