Windsurfing & Kitesurfing at Lake Weyba (near Noosa)

Located 4 km south of Noosa Heads, Lake Weyba is situated 10 minutes out of Noosa.

This spot works best in a S/SE breeze and is great for flat water blasting and bump-and-jump. It is also a great sport for beginners as you can pretty much stand up anywhere in the lake on the muddy bottom.

This spot is popular for kite boarders as well as windsurfers. Kite surfers tend to stay closer to the shore in the shallows whilst windsurfers head out into the depths of the lake.

The lake is surrounded by trees so the further out you go the cleaner the wind.

Access, Rigging & Launching

Launch at and of Lake Weyba Dve. Follow the signs out of Noosa to Eumundi 3 km out of the industrial area of Noosa, turn left onto the Sunshine coast motorway, go 600 meters and turn left into Eumarella road and follow it to the lake. Turn right and go to the end where you will see the set up area and picnic grounds.

There is a nice big grassy area for rigging up.

Walk out from the car park until the buoys where you will find the water is deep enough from there.

Hazards

The main hazard here is the depth of the water. For kiters make sure you don’t jump close to the shore and for windsurfers you need to stay at least 100 m off-shore to minimise a fin strike.

Facilities

Unlike Cootharabah there are no facilities for camping however there are a couple of options with bed and breakfasts and cottages dotted around the lake.
