Noosa River Dog Beach

The Noosa River Dog Beach at Noosa on the Sunshine Coast (which is an off-leash area for dogs) is a great spot to launch for windsurfing, kitesurfing & wingfoiling.

The best wind direction here in N, NNE. Could also work in SW but expect it to be a bit gusty buy no good for a NE or E as the land shelters the water too much.

Kitesurfing – this is a great spot for beginners who can re-launch their kite confidently through to advanced kiters. Often the water is super smooth.

Windsurfing – can be a good spot for windsurfing however weaving amongst the boat traffic can be quite challenging

Windfoiling – looks like a good spot for wingfoiling but again subject to how busy the channel is and the tide level.

Hazards

The channel is very active with boats transiting in and out of the entrance…it can get very busy. To the left is a concrete barrier which is a danger in itself and can cause wind shadows. There can be quite bit of tidal current in these channels so you need to be confident at sailing up/down wind to get back to where you started from.
