Hey
Am heading to Coolum, Maroochydore, sunshine coast area this year after Xmas for a short holiday. Just curious if the wind is good this time round for a kite as I live in WA.???
Any tips advice appreciated
Spring, Summer and into Autumn is the best time for winds in SEQ - you should get prevailing SE or NE (cross-onshore) winds reasonably consistently. I use an 11m2 or 7m2 for the surf, which covers most conditions. July/ August (Winter) we can get periods of offshore Easterly winds, so not recommended. Can be very hot and wet over the Xmas/ January period though. Hopefully we'll start to get some decent winds soon, as there's been nothing for quite a while now!!
Hey Megsy,
yeah it gets good here- not as reliable as the WA summer winds, but our season is good for 9 months at least.
Try the river mouths for flat water - expect crowds at that time of year.
Give us a shout in the shop if your up for a down winder - we are regularly doing them on the south side of the coast. 10km Carties to Currimundi.
Enjoy the warm water - no need for rubber here.
See you then,
Mikey
I am also heading over to Sinny Queensland straight after Xmas for new years
. We are going up to Palm Cove though. Whats this place like for kiting this time of year or do I need to travel a little further south????
