I personally would never get a 9 for Sydney. A 12 or 13 if you want an allround kite, and if you have two kites a 17 and a 12.

The wind speed, I guess depends on the season. Maybe other guys with a bit more experience can give some advice. I don't have to many seasons under my belt.

As for wind direction, in Sydney and around you can kite in pretty much every direction.

What's your grunty 10m? What brand?

You didn't say how heavy you are or what board you ride. But assuming you are a normal size guy(80kg) on a 135 twin tip. Your 9 will be your stronger wind kite, and a 12 will be needed for lighter days. I get away with a grunty 10m 90% of the time.

The main season is oct-april ne and se winds. average wind is between 13-25knots
