Hi all,

I was just wondering where you can find up to the minute wind readings for the Perth kitesurfing spots. I know seabreeze has around 6 spots under the forecast but sometimes it is difficult to figure out what is happening at the location you want to go to if it is not one in the list.

For example, the past two mornings have had identical forecasts and I went to Point Walter on both. Yesterday was awesome and today was terrible. The nearest location on seabreeze is Melville but this doesn't cater for Easterly winds (as they will be blocked by the buildings etc) so on both days the actual wind speeds there weren't very high.

There must be a better way than waking up at 4am and hoping for the best. Any tips or is it just down to luck?

Hope that made some sense!

Cheers

i might be wrong but the actual buoy that takes the wind readings is actually more towards pelican point and does actually report easterlies pretty accurately

was out on the river cruising between peli point and melville and saw the marker with the weather gear on it and it is prob 500 nth of majestic point so anything other than a SE it is in the right spot to report it imo pretty accurate
