Lower light is suitable for kite surfing at high tide. I haven't done it myself, but I've seen others on a couple of occasions. On the medium high tides its only ankle deep, but on the higher tides it gets up to knee deep.

You may have noticed that in the Gulf, we generally get a high tide in the morning, low around midday and high in the evening (except during dodge tides). It relates to the shape of the gulf, the narrow opening near Kangaroo Island and the relative components of sun and moon for this latitude.

In summer the sea breeze also pushes the water up a bit, so most late afternoons in summer would be suitable.

Great, Thanks guys. I might give hige tide this Sunday a chance, as it looks like there is a bit of wind in the morning.

Just had a look at www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/oceanography/tides/tide_predications.cgi
It says high tide is around 3pm!

action_ms69, Does it mean that you have kitesurfed Lower Light in low tide when you say -"Just becareful about the speed that the tides comes in but, its realy quick and it doesnt leave you much beach to drive home on." ?

If we arrive at high tide - I guess we wouldn't have that problem...Maybe the other way around (have to walk back)

Port Parham, a bit further north, is a good beach for learning. Plenty of beach space and shallow. Best when Outer Harbour tides are between 1.5 and 2.5 meters. Me and a couple of others learnt there in 2002 and we still go there when the tide and wind is right. Any wind from south around to north is good.
