Any recommendations (flat or waves)? Will be there for a week or two from 12th Jan...
hi nicole , if your meaning including esperance as a destination then we have several spots , there is 4th mile (not my first choice although usualy there are locals or other tourists having a kite at that place so you wont be alone)
also the town bay a little east around from the town center... you will see when you get here how the direction of the wind runs where to setup (its rather choppy though),
also more east near wylie bay we have some nice spots too... if its windy there may be kites up that you can spot from the road other wise just explore from the car parks if you dont have a 4wd (i sometimes kite this spot with several mates for the flat if the swells not much good around town)
other spot is observatory - west of town just past 4th mile, but this depends on your skill level and if your realy keen on waves as its a nice wave but slight offshore and can end up on a reef further downwind (as a few tourist kiters have found out this summer) or a long swim in, plus its full of windsurfers when its realy windy. this is my third fav spot to kite but needs a little respect for the conditions and pole dancers imho
last if you have a 4wd there are spots to choose along the lenght of wylie bay to le grand bay - i do long downwinders here when its blowing onshore everywhere else (sse to s wind direction) my fav spot but only if the winds right and the swell is big
hope thats of some help.
