As pointed out by Freeway, there's a map with most of the spots. If you need advice on where to go I'd suggest giving us a few preferences such as what type of spot (beginner, waves, flat water), in/around Sydney? If outside Sydney, how far do you want to drive? North or south?

In Sydney- Botany Bay will be your best bet over January and February. Northeast sea breezes 15-20 knots most of the time and the occasional southerly to cool things down (~20 knots). Kurnell, Dolls Point (tidal), Monterey have the usual mix of newbees and intermediate kiters. Weekends are crowded. I suggest getting out of town if you can and experience beautiful uncrowded ocean beaches.

I personally like the south coast. Jervis Bay is only 2 hours away. Also, Gerroa is good.

Plenty of ocean beaches. Assume NE sea breeze.
Just south of Port Macquarie I've kited Bonny Hills - small surf and big beach for launching
Further south - Old Bar lagoon for flat water
Lots of spots around Port Stevens (see NSWKBA - locations)
Central Coast has lots of variety too (see NSWKBA - locations)
In Sydney the northern beaches get less wind than Botany Bay due to topography.

^ assume "medium" most of the time. Sea breeze usually kicks in around 1-2 pm
