I've travelled home to Melbourne from WA through Whyalla 3 times. Have not been lucky with wind and recently tides. I'd like to plan next years trip a little better to increase my chances of kiting the foreshore for a few days in mid December.
Can any Whyalla locals tell me the tide level reading that would have a foot of water over the big sand flats at foreshore beach?
During summer it is almost always low tide in the afternoon, to get a foot of water over the whole area you would normally have to wait until 5 or 6pm, but most people will be out well before that, just have to walk a bit further.
You could always try False Bay, just up the road, always enough water there.
Cheers
