Robe (South Australia)
Robe Windsurfing & Kitesurfing
Robe is located approximately 3.5 hours drive south east of Adelaide (or about 6 hours west of Melbourne) on the Limestone Coast in South Australia
This spot offers some great wave sailing for windsurfers and kiters on a clean and predictable beach break. It is one of South Australia’s prime wave sailing spots.
The best wind directions are SE-SW or N-NE however the the bay is about 10 km long and is curved so you can windsurf anywhere along the coast to get side shore conditions. If the wind is more westerly, Rivoli Bay at Beachport is usually a better option.
The main season is in the summer months from November to March however your may catch some of the locals riding the winter storms.
The most popular access is at the 3rd ramp which is about 10 km north of Robe. You can drive off the main highway in any type of vehicle or if you have a 4wd you could drive along the beach from the main town beach (1st Ramp).
From Robe, if you are after some flat-water blasting, Lake George is just up the road.
In addition to windsurfing and kitesurfing, Robe is a great place to just hang out. They are famous for their crayfish and of coarse it is just over an hour’s drive to the famous Coonawarra wine region. There is a local golf course, and there are plenty of attractions like Narracoorte Caves (about 90 mins drive).
The surf beach is also great for swimming, surfing and SUPping.
This great video below shows what an awesome spot this is…
Robe Accommodation Options
Robe is a small and quaint village and is a popular holiday destination during summer, so there is a reasonable selection of accommodation options.
There are a couple of caravan/holiday parks (also offering self-cater cabins), a few motel/motor inn's, several holiday homes and Bed n Breakfasts in Robe. An alternative is to stay at Beachport if you are also wanting to wave sail at Rivoli Bay or flat water blast on Lake George.
If you want to take your pet, there are only a couple of options with The Robetown Motor Inn (allows pets on non-holiday periods) being the cheapest otherwise there are a few private holiday homes that will allow pets.
