Main Direction:	NE, SE, SSE, S

NE in summer, late November to March 10-20 knots average. S to SE winter June to October 15-30 knots average, but gusty. Best if from E, SE, W, or SW. Can ride in all wind directions because land and beaches surround, because it is like a big oval. In a NE you can kite in the ocean side at area B (Hawks Nest) or if the tide is out, then best area ever is to kite in area A (Hawks Nest, west point of harbour). The wind will be offshore but only a metre deep water for about a 100 metres. If the wind is blowing from the Southwest then you can kite at anywhere in the bay but we like it best at West at point C (Jimmys Beach). If the wind is from the South, then best forget it as the land mass on Nelson side of bay causes wind to be really gusty.
