That's a fairly vague question...what time of year? how much do you weigh? what type of board do you use? what's your skill level?

Here are the wind stats for Esperance.

Winds aren't very strong in the summer months so expect light winds in general .There are plenty of beaches to kite once you get away from town. You'd be lucky to find someone else to kite with around there.

Also known to have many sharks in the area. www.theguardian.com/australia-news/video/2017/jan/16/kitesurfer-has-near-miss-with-great-white-shark-video

I've kited a couple of beaches around Esperance and in Cape Le Grand NP. Beautiful scenery but remote and light wind.

yeh maz, I was surprised by Christians advice here as well.

Spent much quality time down there mate?

the only truth in his post is the great whites...they loooove that cold cold water down there

No worries Reigo

As Cbulota said there are plenty of isolated beaches in the surrounding area and national parks. If you are keen to dip your toes closer to town, try between wylie point and the bandy creek boat harbour (side onshore and small waves in SE winds), and twilight beach stretch just before twilight rocks (there are a few carparks along twilight road, wind will be side onshore in SE again, and there will be breakers with long flat waters between rollers). lots of beach space and few people even though close to town, and wind should be pretty clean (avoid kiting near the cliff areas and large rocky outcrops due to gusts/luffs)

observatory point is worth going out to and if you look out the west side, will be side offshore, so for advanced kiters/windsurfers only, and worth erring on the side of caution - if unsure...don't go out!

have fun, take care, be safe kiting and driving!

Australia's best down winder,
Cape Le Grand to Kelp beds.
Great for your kiting skills, starts cross off, then cross then cross on. Have your missus or mate drive the beach as you kite, everyone wins, the best coastal scenery in Australia also.
definatley a downwinder you will never forget!!!

Thanks for the tips! My partner and I are in Esperance now and seems the SE winds will blow this arvo. Anyone planning to kite today?
