Hey All,

New to the Comox Valley and wondering about kite spots. I'm familiar with Goose Spit, but I'm wondering about spots to go when it isn't a SE/E wind direction.

Thanks in advance!

Thermal spots are Nimpkish & Nitinaht lakes as well as China creek. See wiki sailing guide: http://www.bigwavedave.ca/wiki/index.php/Sailing_Guide Try to find the Comox valley kiteboard crew on face book. https://www.facebook.com/groups/4654727 ... ?ref=br_rs

Winter is obvious...epic SE winds that hit everywhere!

Sounds like there's a little light NW chasing locally, Kye Bay? Airforce Beach?

Comox folks seem to head to Port Alberni for summer kiting too: Harbour Quay was popular for a while, but now most people go to China Creek.

As JL says, the facebook group is your best resource.

Would you guys say the thermals at China Creek are as affected as Nitinat by the weather conditions ? i.e. if there is a 5 degree difference between Ukee and Port Alberni is it enough for a big kite at China Creek?

I would say Nitinaht has a better chance of blowing despite temp differences. Watch for fog at the coast & clear over the lake
