Babel Point

Babel Point is a southeastern Australian beach break located on a prominent sandy peninsula extending into open ocean. The coastline faces southeast, with water access along both sides of the point. The spot features an extended sandbar system with visible rocky outcrops scattered throughout the break zone. Conditions are characterised by rough chop and moderate wave heights averaging under 1 meter. Best wind conditions occur with northeasterly to easterly winds that provide side-shore to side-offshore flow parallel to the main beach orientation. The low wind reliability (14.5%) and modest average wind speed (7.9 knots) indicate this is not a consistently windy location. Water temperatures average around 14°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with rocky obstacles, shallow areas, and variable chop. Tidal cycles significantly affect usable water depth and current strength around the point. Approach from the western beach access for safest entry and exit.
