Hows current (September 2019) conditions @ Golden Beach for kitesurfing for beginners? Is it safe to go out and practice on my own? Or should still wait for a couple months for better/safer winds? Thanks.
Hi Sirli
The guide for SE Qld (link below). It has comments on Golden Beach - Essentially it is when the wind direction is good for the site and the state of the tide.. I have not been there fore 18 months but low tide you can go out and launch from the sand banks else by the scouts sheds. If it is on there will likely be a fair few there - so just ask for advice. A lot of action when it is on in the river mouth at Caloundra but it is not a beginner site and best with a mate or someone to keep an eye on you. Other sites for learning include Lake Weyba, and Maroochy river but not near the wave zone.
Realistically in SEQld on the east coast wind with any Westerly in it has limited options so InSkip has a zone for NW and Double Island Point has awesome potential. At the southern end of Bribie Island on the main land Sandy point g8 training site, works for a SW but no easy option for a Westerly. Anyway check out the guide and ask away..
