Hey guys,
I am coming down the 2nd half of September for a work project and plan to stay a week for kiting. I am gong to be in Melbourn for work and then plan to visit my father in Newcastle. What percentage of the days are windy that time of year in both of those locations. How windy is it?
If anyone ever comes to Seattle I am happy to help them with the kite spots.
Thanks,
Gabe
not the best time for wind sports in september. Season really starts in october.
if you happen to get northerlies (which could happen in september) you'll have to go about an hour or so drive out of CBD... southerlies are typically very rare in September (and you want southerlies coz they are on shore winds therefore cleaner and much better).
Knowing what i know, i personally wouldn't even bother bringing the gear to melbourne in september if i was staying for one week only...
october onwards is great though.
The new Australian kiting legislation allows kiting only in backyard swimming pools. The accredited pool must be no more than 50cm deep and be fenced with self latching gates. Water is optional. The beaches are reserved for surfing, windsurfing and topless sunbaking or nude (chicks only). The sunbaking legislation requires that you must be spunky with DD (.).) cups minimum or go to a kiting pool![}:)]
