Was on the beach watching you start off from Yaroomba on your 9 the other day Will. Didn't recognise you till you got going. I followed you down about 20 minutes later, was pretty average! The winds been so bad I decided to go back to work 
Fingers crossed for the new year.

No wind today again
Good thing its Xmas
Sitting around eating and drinking with family and friends all day 
Wind was unreal up until this lull
Out on the 7 and 9m most days
Even took the 5m for a 20km DW

Climate change perhaps?
it's the only thing it could be!
My 15m has seem more action in the last couple weeks than it's seen in the last 2 years.
I was hoping the wind would be cranking 25+ for these few days ive got off, but ive only had two light sessions on my 12, you wouldn't want to be learning out in Bramble bay atm either, the amount of jellies in the bay are ridiculous. Many jellies on the coasts? Might have to go for a road trip 
There are a few jellyfish about
But mostly out beyond the waves
In amongst the surf there aren't many
Give me a text if you come up Greggor
Im always keen to kite if there is wind
Plenty of swell at the moment

At the top of this forum there is a Locations guide... open change to Satellite view and magnify a bit.
All the yellow icons are for downwinders. Along Sunny coast either N to S or S to N. Click on these for description - and go in travel direction till reach the opposite arrow coming the other way. Say Castaways to Stummers Creek (N to S - Tomorrow 30th go earlier if you only have 17 M as likely to be 16-20 knots after about 2:00pm due to sea breeze) - Stummers creek is approx 9-10 kms to south just scroll along shore-line till you reach opposite marker = Stummers creek to Castaways S to N - leave car at one end and use bus along David Low way to get to back - they run every 30 mins. Chances are you will run into someone already setting up or on-route. Locals tend to be on smallest kite possible so would be waiting till the wind picked up more than for a 17m. Sme commits 2morrow but may get a late arvo' run Yaroomba to Redgate / North shore... Hope u get out - as long as you are experienced it is a fun run and easy enough solo.
Cheers

Good northernly wind yesterday
Runnaway Bay is just north of the Gold Coast
Bit of a hike up to Castaways for a DW which is on the Sunshine Coast 2.5 - 3 hours away
Check the Locations guide like Aqua Plow said ...very informative
Plenty of good flat water spots on the Gold Coast Broadwater
Or could do a DW along the beaches of the Gold Coast
But be sure you take a wide birth around the flags
Start opposite Seaworld and DW down the coast and get the bus back
Could go all the way to Burleigh without having to go round a headand
Bus from Burleigh to Broadbeach then Broadbeach to Seaworld

Hey ,Aqua Plow just looking for the info you were talking about looked in maps and also weather,changed to satellite and only comes up with aus map if I go into weather put in qld then gold coast only a rough map with little stars come up not much on anything else just looking for good info on doing down winder from main beach to just a few Klm down coast ,not knowing the next best port of call would be as such
kEITHO - Just click on this tab at the top of this forum - to go into google maps.... All along the Goldie to Currumbin is downwind able ... just note flagged zones....
No wind - too hot to keep sanding the deck (Break project) so forum goggles on
This was Y'day's happening - just checking the M'dore readings and noticed this.... at DI - the top graph readings the wind gauge is located just below the ' b' in Rainbow
12-13 NNE then 17-36 SSW - really rocking...
Cheers

Cheers aquaPlow just having a few drinks saw your post thanks,went out today at Sandgate not to bad ,but sea lice real bad but had fair time of it, will check out references you showed , happy new year to all ,lovin this sport
So as being a Newbie and trying to read the weather reports on this site, would I be correct in saying that next Wednesday could be a busy day on the water down the coast, and a few sickies on the cards.
This wind lull is continuing
I blame my mate
He bought a new kite just before this lull started
I think it might have something to do with the big guy upstairs, you watch back to work next week and the winds will pick up. 
So did I Gokid :( been frothing to give it a good session too, might be up on the sunny coast tomorrow wind permitting will let you know if we make it up there.
My mate bought a Crazy Fly Sculp 12m
Give me a text Greggor
But the forecast isn,t great
Hopefully it is wrong
