I'd personally use this forecast. www.bom.gov.au/vic/forecasts/centralcoast.shtml

North to northwesterly 20 to 30 knots shifting west to southwesterly 20 to 30 knots around the middle of the day, then becoming southwesterly 15 to 20 knots during the evening.

Easterly tends to be the best direction down there for Anderson Inlet. The South Westerly would be kiteable, but not amazing. With that forecast I'd probably just kite in the south eastern suburbs somewhere. Brighton, or somewhere between Seaford and Mount Martha.

*My opinion anyway.

Thanks Guys...after hearing so much about the place if the forecast turns out as good as it says i'll make the trip.

Is a SW'er cross shore or cross off from the launching beach in the inlet?

Not a beginner...just hanging out for a good session and want to make good use of the day off work + winds.

It's cross on shore. Yes westerlies are gusty because you get wind pockets and shadow because of the heads.
Dint trust the pound creek wind reading for inverloch- it's usually windier than what it's reading. But all indications say tomorrow will be a pearler- 23 degrees south west 23-25 kts from lunch easing slowly.
At low tide there can be more sand than water so careful of the sand bars ;) but if you're not a beginner you should be able to stay up wind with chop or waves (further out) or play in the flat water close to the launch area.
Look on google earth, just east of the inverloch pier is the launch area (at the fishing club)- forecast conditions will be prime.

So it would have been awesome today.... howd it go?

Had a great session on my 8m...had to wait until about 4:30 as it was 30+ before that...Ended up kiting on the front (surf) beach and had a ball hitting the kickers.

What time were you there from Gippy, must have just missed you, was waiting at the inlet until about 4 or so then moved to the front beach.

Think I'm going to be spending more time traveling to inverloch in the future...its got every aspect covered. sweet spot.
