Abilities

This spot is ideal for all levels and there is a couple of Kite Schools located at the spot plus a retailer of windsurfing & kitesurfing gear.

Sailing

The sailing in the sheltered harbour is ideal for flat water blasting and freestyle jumping for kite surfers. Outside of the harbour you will find quite a bit of chop. Foiling at this spot is also highly popular.

Seasons

The season predominantly runs from October through to March where there is a relatively reliable thermal sea breeze that kicks in each afternoon from a southerly direction.

Water

The water is generally pretty clean apart from after a heavy rainfall where a lot of storm water spills into the bay making the water brownish. Inside the harbour is generally pretty flat and outside of the harbour the chop can reach over 1 metre.

Rigging

There is a very large sandy beach here making it ideal for rigging kites. But be aware that this beach is sometimes quite busy with beach goers so be sure to know what you are doing when rigging around lots of people.

Launching

The launch area is from a sand beech with none to a small shore break.

Car Parking

There is car parking along the main road parallel to the beach however there is a fee required. It is heavily patrolled so make sure you buy a ticket.

Potential Hazards

The main hazard here is sand bars and at times a few jelly fish (that aren’t deadly but can give you a little sting and they are pretty solid if you hit one at speed on a foil).
