Launch notes

Flat water conditions provide ideal launching for beginners. Watch for shifting tidal currents typical of coastal bays, and launch during peak wind windows in northern and southern wind directions.

Gear & clothing

Gear · 12-15 sqm kites suit the moderate 10.6 kt average winds with room for lighter conditions. A directional or hybrid board works well in flat water, allowing beginners to focus on technique without chop interference.

Clothing · Wear a 5mm+ wetsuit year-round due to cold Pacific water (3-10°C depending on season). Winter months demand booties, gloves, and a hood for extended sessions in harsh conditions.

Crowd & etiquette

Share the bay with local fishing and shipping activity; maintain clear communication with other water users and stay aware of vessel movements. Respect designated watercraft lanes and any local maritime regulations.

Additional notes

Winter (Jan-Feb) offers the most consistent wind and best conditions but requires cold-water gear expertise. Check local weather forecasts carefully as monsoon patterns can create unpredictable transitions between seasons.
