Looked at it a few years ago, better off a little further north at Banksia Beach. As long as there is no north in it... watch the pumistone ledge as you launch. Also a wreck on southern end of bank to look out for. Maybe the locals will chime in.

Kiters tend to gather further South at Apex park. I've been in that area you asked about with a kite, it's ok, but typically gusty. Got to avoid the more boats. Large gums located along the foreshore don't help smooth the wind.
Got these off Google Earth

Yeah , just launch 300 m or so more northerly. No horrible ledge . Third car park above banksia beach sand boat ramp . Nice grass , easy entry. You just start at the top of the strip. Just keep it a secret.
