Need some advice re kiting in Ocean Grove.
I will be down there for the weekend and it looks like it will be 20+ SW. Raffs beach will probably be gusty but what about the eastern end of the beach?

Is it kiteable? Any hazards? How is the surf on the eastern end. Can only bring a TT not enough room for the surfboard.

Thanks!

Thanks. Is that because Ocean Grove is not good at all or just because Torquay is better? It's mainly a family trip and I plan to duck out while the little ones are doing their nap hence my desire to kite Ocean Grove.

Hi Ed

if there is any west in the wind stay as far away from the Bluff as possible, 17w car park at a minimum,

we kite at collendina a fair bit as there is a fair section of flat water between the waves and some decent swell on the good days, try to hit it at low tide if possible as there is minimal beach

As be prepared to be on your own there isn't to may of us down this way

I've been there... it's not a bad spot, but there is a reason people bang on about tourquay. It is much better.

When I was there, the waves were sufficiently big that you'd not see the surfers until it was almost too late, so try and keep clear.

Has anyone kited inside the river section past the bridge? Plenty of flat water but you'd need a dead S to SE?

Lake Connewarre is a good spot if you want to give it a go, google map Brinsmeads Lane Leopold.

Take the track to down to the waters edge via car, set up in grass and best to water launch.
Waist deep water all around. Great in a SW

13th Beach is better than near the river mouth or Bluff at Ocean Grove, But again Point Danger is Better than 13th Beach.

The Bluff can make kiting there very gusty. So Kiting further along can be better.

I have kited in the river heaps, There are a lot of holes keep your kite high.
