Any good with this wind direction. Or do I stay local and use the estuary here. Not sure on this wind direction for some reason.
same question...down south this weekend near augusta but have never kited on this direction. suspect up in dunsborough is the only option. Albany should be fine on a NE, denmark suspect not.
As far as I know most of the South coast is pretty suss when there is any North in the breeze like forecast this weekend.
Although there is a few bays where the beach faces East and it is cross on, the wind has usually come across the land/coastal dunes on other side of the bay and is gusty as.
I think Cheyne Beach (East of Albany) is one of the best options, I have had a couple of kites down there in NEers but I certainly wouldn't be heading all the way down there on the weekend on the off chance it will be ok, I don't trust any breeze with some North in it.
Eppo - Dunsborough is the go on the NE. It travels a long way across geographe bay so it smooths out a bit. Try Bunkers if there is some swell around, had some ripper sessions there on the NE before.
August no good on the NE - typical offshore - very holy & gusty
Know what you mean by fickle north eateries, seen the change in forecast from yesterday to today. Nothing, except Albany.
Been looking at google earth again... west side of broke inlet looks good for flat water on a NE
4 km fetch, sandy beaches, shallow sandbar to kill the chop
but you'll need a boat to get there.
I'll go if someone else has room on their boat for me ;)

damn that looks good. Would love to find somewhere down this way that works on a NE... if any one knows, please share... PM me, I have 4WD and i'm prepared to get it very dirty to get there. 
By dunners I am assuming beefarmer means Dunsborough.
Hey Beefy and Eppo I reckon there is enough East in it to get Cheynes firing.
I won't be making the trip but love to hear some feedback if someone does make the effort.
The wind should be coming a bit more from the East (right) than the direction this is looking.
Yep, North is up on this image, so Nor East will be pretty much cross on or cross shore depending how far around the bay you drive and you can go for miles but it does get soft.
Damn I might just have to go for a drive myself.
yep you've inspired me Tightlines, i will be there with bells and soft tyres.
cheers for the pics mate.
I hope I haven't given you guys a bum steer, but pretty confident I haven't if wind is anything like forecast.
I have stuff to do on Saturday but I think I have talked myself into being there by midday Sunday and staying until Monday or even Tuesday if I get sick *cough cough, I have got your ph# beefarmer so will give you a call tomoz arvo if I decide to head down.
