Hello all,
Has anyone sailed from Darwin to Rote return?

A few guys in the kite surf forum are from there you might have more luck, no waves in Darwin

Believe it or not there actually is...surfed with a chick from Darwin about 3 weeks ago who said she surfed the incoming tide. I asked if crocs were an issue, she said she was more concerned about a couple of types of jellyfish haha

Don't think I'll be booking a ticket anytime soon

I have seen waves in Darwin. Would not paddle out though. Stuff that. As for Rote - some great waves. Like all places tides, winds, swell and time of the year play a crucial role. Would love to enlighten you some more - but if you on a boat you will see them. You will probably need to sign in at Kupang though first I would imagine - which will involve some back tracking. Winds between Kupang and Rote can be brisk . Personally would not be doing that passage from Darwin at certain times of the year without some well thought out alternatives or lots of time to kill
