Broulee - What wind direction?

Hi MJDUDLEY87, in this part of the world, the only decent wind is north-easterly (from October until March or April) or southerlies (don't try to kite on any wind with a 'W' in its name). Broulee is only usually kite-surfed on a north-easterly.

There are a couple of other locations in this area that are okay in a north-easterly, including Tomakin and the Moruya Rivermouth. These two locations are fairly small, and more than half a dozen riders would be considered a crowd. Tuross Head also holds potential. Broulee is quite expansive with plenty of room for the two dozen or more riders that you might find on a summer's afternoon during the holidays. There are plenty of deserted beaches that would be okay, but they are exposed to the open ocean, often with big waves or rough seas, so you'd need to know what you're doing.

Expect the north-easterlies to blow anywhere from 10 to 25 knots most afternoons during summer (probably only averages two decent sessions per week). There's a really friendly and helpful group of kiters at Broulee, so drop down and make yourself known.

It's really hard to find a location to kitesurf on a southerly in this area because most beaches run north-south and have nasty rocky headlands at either end. And the southerlies can be unpredictable, often grey and cold and not very attractive. Tomakin is one of the few locations where you can kitesurf a southerly or south-easterly. Better to head to the tropics during winter.

We were down there a few weeks ago and kited both Tomakin in a SE and Batemans Bay in a SE.

Batemans Bay was an awesome flatwater spot. Broulee in a NE was very nice too.
