i heard rye is good as to kite down there being so shallow and that... is rye only good on a a northerly?

heading down this weekend hopefully get some good wind!! the beaches would be packed as? theres **** all beach down there too isn't there?

Ok cool sounds great! Just hope there's some good wind for the weekend! Why does this rule out the seabreezes? If its blowin a southerly how about on the other side of rye around st Andrews beach? Do people head over to that side and kite?

Thanks heaps

Errrr haha that sounds interesting! Well fingers crossed for some good wind. What else is good around that area?

...sorry and the topless girls on the beach......so...eyes on the road RONDA!!!!!

Uhhh, be careful on this side of the peninsula! Big swell, currents and plenty of rocks! It is for exp. kiters only! Be careful and don't go alone at least the first time!!!!

cs

Just had a look down at st Andrews looks pretty full on rocks everywhere haha f that.... Gunnamatta is about 15min down the road, any good for kiting?

Flinders might be a goer will have a look tomorrow that or balnarring. Thanks man

Try inside flinders, near the jetty, works well in SW great grassed area to launch from. Will be relatively flat with waves around the headland

Flinders near the jetty is offshore in a SW....... Better off at the back beach waves at big lefts & Cyril's etc... Flat water close to shore on each side mushroom reef.

Yep still in Flinders.... Head towards the pier just before you go down the hill ( towards pier ) turn right towards West Head ( naval base ) just before the gates to the base you will see a one way road ( next to the golf tee) before the car park. Head down there for about 300m until you see a road leading down to the beach drive down and set up on the beach here. The flat water will be obvious Big lefts if off to your right when looking out to sea and about 500-600 m out. Cyril's is further to the right and closer to the shore if either are working there should be people out and again it will be obvious. Wind wise anything WSW-ESE should work and swell wise anything really.... Flinders is often the best bet when the back beaches ( Rye, Gunamatta, etc...) are closing out.

Both breaks will hold swell 8ft+ Cyril's is a fast right hander big lefts is a mellow (but can be big) left hander with the odd right hander tempting you these are best left alone unless you want to be caught inside. Big lefts is more suited to kiting.
There are heaps of other breaks take a mate and explore but be careful.

Where r those spots never heard of them? Still in Flinders?

correct, confusing myself. The area near the Pier works well in SE or S
