Hello,
I'm travelling to Australia in July/August this year to Melbourne. I was there earlierthis year and in New Caledonia unfortunatly there was no wind there for kitesurfing... And I couldnt find many alternatives to New Caledonia, as I'm looking for something where it should be warm and good to really good chances of wind. I was thinking of going to New Caledonia again but I presume from my research there isnt much wind at all to the time period. Are there other destinations that are in proximty of Australia (Cook Island, Bali, it shouldnt be mor than 6-8hour flight from Mel if possible) or in Australia. It would also be good if the Kitebeach is connected with a Hotel (Starwood Hotel would be best..)
Would be thankful for some ideas.

Bali is the go around July , but take big kites.banda aceh in northern indo is also good.

But yeah Cook Islands is blowing its tits off.

I know a bunch of people who went in July last year. They had 2 windy days out of 10. Expensive trip too.

Thanks for the fast Reply, I think I will be going to Port Douglas as Im not often in Australia.

Hi Fizzik,

Yes- I can highly recommend Australian Kitesurfari, located approximately 3 hrs drive north of Port Douglas. The camp is only accessible by 4 wheel drive - so a real adventure trip travelling through rainforest and coastal dunes . I've been for going for the last 4 years and have always had amazing sessions up there. The camp takes a limited numbers of kiters at any time - no more 6-8 kiters usually. You will have consistent trade winds (averaging 20-25knts) from dawn until dusk, in uncrowded, pristine warm waters. You will be well looked after by Ant Hadley and his crew, while also experiencing a really remote and unique part of Australia. Check out the Australian Kitesurfari website for details:

Kitesurfari in Nothern QLD is definitely the place to go. I've been several times and always awesome. Everything is catered for: pick up in Cairns, plenty of food, super friendly people who run the place. Planning another trip in August when the trade winds will be blowing constantly :-)
