Hey Everyone,
Seems the stats say the "off" season can have a lot of easterly, from straight to NE to SE.... Question is what are the best spots around perth +/- an hours drive to get these spots??? Been on the river 3 times and was dissapointed twice
... anyways if you have any info let me know.
Cheers.

I'm afraid the river is it in Perth. It can be OK, but is bitterly cold sometimes which makes the enjoyment factor marginal. At least you can say you've been out!
Looks like we may have the juice on this coming long weekend!! Even though it is Easterlies.
I don't want to miss out, but I've never kited on the river, so am unsure of where.
Is there a map or other guidance somewhere that shows exactly where the spots are to catch the Easterlies? Don't want to waste time driving around trying to find launch spots.
Is there a map showing launch spots on the river?
You're welcome ![]()
Tip, don't believe any non frontal wind forecast until a maximum of two days away.. Preferably the day before. Especially at this time of year.
don't worry you won't miss out on the river, id rather sit it out for the 40knot fronts personally but if you do go out, my advise is to rig big. the wind can be a bit gusty and you may need that extra 2m to punch through the holes/windshadows at the northerly end of the point
One of the better spots on a north east but not a beginners spot.
Well thats one less you'll see out there then. I don't need to make a fool of myself AND cause myself a mischief.
Think I'll just go for a watch.
Cheers
