Winds looks South west changing to southerly tomorrow, so i think anywhere along the SE coastal corridor will be good.

Anyone with solid suggestions for locations? Could make a good day of it down there.

I've only kited at Mentone a couple of times but it is good in a SW - S I think. I'll be aiming for there late morning/mid day if it looks like that's where people are going.

If you've not been there before the surf life saving club doesn't like us getting too close. Stay south of the concrete pipe.

Kitingfever - Park at the Mentone surf club, most people set up on the beach then use the grass area for pack down. Before you go out ask someone about the no kiting zone which is in front of the surf club.
