Bodega Dunes beach?

[Frappes]

I'm in Bodega Bay this weekend, and am wondering if it is kiteable on the ocean side at Bodega Dunes beach/Salmon Creek.

Worth it, or just make the drive down to dillon?

Ive kited salmon a few times and if its windy its great. The wind may be better there than Dillon. Its been fluky at the Dillon launch especially if the dunes warm up.

Someone told me it was hard to stay upwind there and they did a few down winders

I checked out Salmon Creek beach last week and it was a bit of a bust - the rip was really strong so I was woefully underpowered even with ~15kts. I took a few tacks, but wasn't really down to have a long walk back up the beach so I packed up and headed into the bay instead.

As kitesurfitis said, this beach seems to only be good when it's cranking; otherwise you're gonna get sucked down the beach pretty quickly.
