Ill be there the last week in September. What are my chances of wind? Which are the good kite beaches? Any other info relevant to kiting in Kalbarri?

Of course a stop by coronation is in order...

Cheers

kited kallbari a few times, a mate runs the beach resort there, the river can be good or outright mental depending on direction, rig up and cross the river to kite the passage, better a little north as the are a few lumps to f88k you up, looked a jakes and blueholes but was pretty **** due to the wind too much south, the dredger has made a nice little sandbar in the river but itd only be 150mtrs max, personally horrocks and port gregory is a better option, if you do kite a strong southerly in the river be carefull as i had a scary one a few years back

Yeh I concur with cauncy on that. I have kited that river as well. As far as near the mouth of the river stay away from there, that is some serious weird ass water.

Ended up at Horrocks and spot X in the end.

Always seems to be too much South, blowing over the headland / hill.
Kited the rivermouth on that wind up around boats. Bit bumpy but worth a ride.
I'll be there in Nov.

Looked at Jakes. Always been cranking overhead waves when I have been there but wind direction South.
Doubt the surfers would be amused if you tried kiting there.

try Lucky Bay, bit of a mission(4wd only) but I think it's kiteable on a smaller swell (1.5m) with a bunch of A frame peaks. If you surf you can score in the morning and kite in arvo, great kids beach as well.

I would advise against kiting Jakes....
