Hey man, the forecast has been wrong lately (check the wind report and you can see live measurements it's usually under the reality in Mullaloo/Pinaroo here in the north, there will be wind tommorrow arvo... see the tab graph above on the left, that's where you get the predictions from...

Otherwise if you are mobile seems that Gero is way to go at the moment...

The wind up here has been ok , but not epic and not worth a 4 hour drive , but give it a few more weeks

Hi roller guy, it's also good to check out the tree, flags and whatever gets affected by wind where you love. The charts on seabreeze are great, but you have to keep your eyes open and tune into the wind. Anyway it's all good, seabreeze are happening. If you are in Perth and a newby, go to Melville water, but read the WAKSA location guide for where it is ok to kitest the different Perth locations...

Far out, that's my 100 post . Woo!

Haha good pickup!
I'm back at horrocks today and breeze is in. Just dropped family at Northampton show and am now heading out for a kite. Back to Northampton later as they always have superb fireworks show in the evening. It's a good day.

Hope you can get out on the ocean to clear your head!
