Where do I find wind this week!?

Hi Guys,

I was planning to go kiting pretty much daily till the end of my holiday. However, as posted in the other thread, the wind-gods are momentarily not in our favour in WA and it might take a while before they decide to throw us another few decent breezes.

I still have till the 7th of Jan off and figure I might go somewhere where there is wind. I checked the weather charts here on SB and it seems Brisbane might be up for a good couple of days.

Can someone inform me about Locations and Conditions in Brissie at the moment? If I go there what kite sizes do I need and where do I go? is there certain accommodation available close to the kite locations? Also do I need protective gear for Jellies?

I have also heard that Augusta might be good this week if anyone has info on either Brissie, Augusta or any other place with wind that would not be all to expensive to go to from Perth, your input would be much appreciated.

Narrowneck was pumpin' yesterday. Booooosting huge on the 12 yeeeeew!

Akwa, if it's surf or good flatwater you're after the Goldie is the go. You won't
find any jellies in the surf, although there are some in the broadwater at the mo but they are the harmless kind that just carry sea lice (no stingers) boardies and rashie will suffice.

Forecast is looking good from Thursday through to Sunday with swell building to around 3-4m

As far as accom goes, you may have to phone through or google to check availability as it is Xmas holiday time. Anything near the beach is naturally gonna cost you more.

Hope this helps

Cheers
