About Hawks Nest
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 because beaches are better on North side. 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 or if the tide is out, then best area ever is to kite in area A (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. For kitesurfers, kiteboarders, snowkiters and landkiters.
