Pondalowie Bay, Yorke Peninsula (South Australia)

Pondalowie Bay, Yorke Peninsula

Pondalowie Bay is located on South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula in the Dhilba Guuranda – Innes National Park, which is a park that is managed by Parks SA. The park has many coastal bays and beaches and lots to do and see, for instance the Inneston Historic Village, which was once the site of a gypsum mine for the Yorke Peninsula Plaster Company Limited. There is a lot of wildlife to see in the park, emu, goanna, snakes and kangaroos are abundant.

Windsurf, Foiling and Kiting at Pondalowie Bay

On the water you have a really good chance of seeing dolphins and if you head out to some of the rocky outcrops or islands you could see sea lions and seals. It is not uncommon to sea eagle rays, in the shallows too.

The south end of the bay is perfect for windsurfing, wingfoiling and kiting. Being sheltered, there is also lots of opportunity for Stand Up Paddle boarding or beginner sessions in the mornings or too.

For a more advance spot further up the bay also check out Pondalowie Surf Break.

Abilities

This southern end of the bay is excellent for all abilities, due to the sheltered nature of the bay.

Sailing

The bay is suited to all types of windsurfing, foiling, SUP and kiting. It is especially nice for long blasting runs in the right wind direction, given that it is so long and the scenery is spectacular.

Seasons

You can sail the bay at anytime of the year, the warmer weather is better though and the summer tends to have a slightly higher average breeze.

Water

The south end of the bay, is fairly sheltered and also forms a natural harbour, where there are a few fishing boats moored. Because of the natural shelter, this end of the bay stays relatively calm and is a good launch spot. The water itself is crystal clear and the bay is spectacular to sail, regardless of the type of sailing.
