Anybody got any info on the best tides and wind direction for Thompsons beach . Ever since seeing that aerial shot put up on the forum earlier asking where the best flat water spots in Sa were ive been itching to get there myself.

Incomming tide so you dont have to walk a mile to the water.

Port Parham is just as good.

Thompsons is ok on a southeaster but pazza is better in all other directions as hobie said.

I think that photo was taken at pazza not Thompsons (was my mistake, this was corrected further down in the post www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/South-Australia/best-flat-water-spots-around-SA/?SearchTerms=flat,water).

But yeah Parham is like glass on a 0.6-0.8 tide - just need to walk a little bit to reach the water (Helps warm the legs up)
