There is
Frontal wind
at Aldinga Beach, Australia.
Best time of the year is late winter and early spring when fronts are coming through, kite behind the fronts or strong wind patterns with NW to SW direction. You can get lucky in spring and early summer with strong NW to SW patterns. Summer sea breezes traditionally don't come in very strong or last very long so it is risky waiting here for wind. There is more housing development on larger scales so gradually all the roads, concrete and sheet roofing will probably lead to more sea breeze. Some days you can get a sea breeze and when you do it is very nice kiting, be careful as at about 4 pm it can swing from SW onshore to SE offshore without notice. Never try to kite here on a SSE or SE wind it has a pattern from over the hill which is gusty and very unpredictable blowing offshore and in various directions.
Wind

blows

Beach and Tide Conditions
Recommended
tide for kitesurfing is
Low Tide
.
Aldinga Beach, Australia is a
Chop, Small waves and Medium waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Big size.
Good wide long and hard beach which you can drive on with a 2 wheel drive late spring to early autumn with lower tides, check conditions as they change. This beach is covered with cars and people on hot summer days and best avoided. The sand is hard and good for rigging, watch out for cars as they will drive over your gear and of course keep clear of them when kiting. At mid tide there are come rocks strewn about the place to be aware of that or you will assume it is all perfect beach. Low tide is better for the beach as there is more space.
break of various forms with different conditions. Mostly wind swell which can be considerable with fronts and some days almost too heavy for casual kiting. Most days produces a medium swell which is ridable for experienced kiters. Seems to be better overall with low tide but still okay with medium tide.

Aldinga Beach offers a great deal to kitesurfers and is in my opinion one of the most fun areas. It needs a SW or NW for best kiting and has flat sand for easy rigging and launching. However it does have hazards, namely the attempt to kite in N or S winds and even worse in NE or SE winds which are offshore and hazardous. Also it is readily used by other beach goers and cars, both of which kitesurfers must keep away from. People and children swim in the shallows and this is NOT the place to be kiting. North end of the beach is where boats launch from so be aware of this however this is the better spot as it keeps you away from families. Get out on the water and stay out until you are finished. Do not try to learn where there are other people, if they move into your safety zone then you will have to move. Don't stuff around on the beach if there is not enough wind, either wait for wind or pack up. Don't leave your lines out on the beach for long as someone will drive over them and worse hook them up and drive off with your kite attached. Some days there are just too many people and this is normally the height of summer when is is marginal and unlikely to provide good lasting wind, find another beach there are better on these days.
