I was going to throw my gear in the car today for a session after work at seaford (work in Dany South - 15mins to seaford) but was scared off by forecast and possibility that no other kiters would be there.
Going to pm you my details for future possibilites..
yeah, pretty fierce and unpredictable.
Do you see many other kiters at Seaford - the spot where you kite according to the map you posted?
no not a soul, but you need to be a bit of a daredevil to do it at the moment.
I have only a 9m and you need something smaler....
My office is moving to Carrum Downs this week. Looking forward to ditchin work a little early for an afternoon session especially once the seabreezes begin. Will doubtlessly see you out there soon
i get out in Chelsea sometimes,
happy to give seaford a go tho while im down that way anyway..
snowkiting this weekend tho very excited
Was down that way today and scared off too unpredictable and gusty
What Mountain are you going to Kovi?
Hotham. Was there couple weeks ago and gave it a shot was loot of fun but bit light to get any air on my 9 (or I'm just not good enough) but very hard to get pop just use kite.
Going with other kiters this trip so should b fun
So I'm down at carrum downs and it's pretty blowy but the frankston beacon looks quiet. Is that beacon accurate? Because the other beacons in the bay show wind
Agree totaly with the posts above regarding the Frankston beacon. Although the wind at Frankston is sometimes less than other areas I think the readings from the Frankston Beacon are, even on north / west winds, often at least 5 - 10 knots less than what is on the water.
I kite on an 11m well powered and the site will show less than 15knts for the whole session. Was on an 8m tonight overpowered and i dont think the beacon went over 20knts for the whole session!
North westerly is the go from Carrum down to Frankston. If it is due north Frankston is the go, the wind gets a bit gusty but the water also gets pretty flat.
North west at Frankston on a low tide can give some good flat water between the waves
what do you think the chances are of pulling out the 12 tomorrow arvo? Surely that breeze shown on BOM wont die off that much from the centre of the bay
ok i may have been a bit premature, i got there just as the downpoor hit and the gusts really picked up so i went home
we kited hampton good on 8-5 metre.
looking at hampton tomorrow early 8ish
I f u want to do a down winder from seaford let me know i have a truck can fit 8 and im in bowie and seaford
Not as windy down Rosebud, got 2hrs in on the 10m between 1-3pm, even some sunshine. Kited right up until the cold front came thru, just manged to pack the kite up before the rain arrived. Water temp has definitely gone up a degree or two in the last few weeks
