has anyone sailed Granites just north of Kingston?
would it be cross shore on a westerly or a WSW??
ive seen waves there but only on a onshore sea breeze.
what does it need gurus

Ive never sailed there but sailed at Kingston a fair bit. Westerly would be pretty well onshore. If there is a wave there then it would be a lot bigger at Robe or Beachport.
Beachport should be cross-shore or cross-on, on a westerly.
Granites would be a waist of time imo.

It would be onshore.works nearly the same as 3rd ramp at robe.there are few good spots along that beach but you need a good 4wd.

Jazman Beachport is cross off in a Westerly. check the flag pole as the directions are marked on it.

I have sailed Grantites once - it wasnt windy at Robe and on the way back to Adelaide we noticed that the seabreeze seemed to fill in further north. That day was SSW and it was cross-onshore with some nice jumping ramps.

WSW would be direct onshore. Cross shore would be NNW or SSE - I have thought it could be a day trip option on a NNE (cross -off) when there is no swell on the mid.

On the few times I have dropped past Granites the swell has seemed perhaps a bit smaller than Robe.

The granite on the beach is cool, has anyone hit a submerged granite? or is that one on the beach the sole survivor?
