If it's nuke'n at roostr - corbett can be good.
The inside sucks ass...
But the outside is money - move up river towards the tip of island.
When the wind is there... this place can be way better than rooster.
I've kited here enough to know that.
Rig 2 kite size smaller as the outside always-always blows stronger.

Don't go there if you intend to kite near the launch (oregon side). I'm not kidding - it sucks.
I was out there yesterday... on a 12 (wearing boots) when I should have been on my 9... I was way lit most of the time. Bar and Lines even felt warm at times.
I like to be juiced.. but yesterday was insane...
