Hey all,

I'm new to Melbourne and just spending some time on kitebeaches sussing out the spots close to home, I have also been trawling through the forum picking up tit bits on where to kite surf.

Any tips or points in the right direction (ie. links to posts that may have covered something similar) would be greatly appreciated, I have been on the KBV site also.

What I wanted to know was what sites you use to watch the wind, (I like windfinder??) I see Seabreeze has some forecasting info. Any live reports?
What are the wind trends? ie. seabreeze in the afternoon? Prevailing wind is "assuming" SW here in Melbourne.

Can anyone recommend any good spots for flat water, surf and downwinders? I'm based in East Melbourne so looking to spend time down the SE coast if possible (lived in the UK for years and sick of driving every weekend for 3hours to get to my local spot) although keen as mustard for those epic weekends when the conditions are right to head further afar.

Went down the great ocean road last weekend and was very impressed with the possibilities!!

Thanks in advance, if there's anyone keen on doing some exploring/free riding/downwinders please get in touch.

Cheers,
Rob

This will give you local current winds in the south east

Go to the weather page...

Only the pier, and there is a no boating zone on the west side of the pier. The pier runs north south.
Other than that all good, you will see kites out all the way along this area, which makes it separated and plenty of room for everyone :)

See ya on the water
