Back of Lighthouse

Back of Lighthouse is a rocky bay on Australia's southeastern coast near Port Campbell, Victoria. The spot features a sheltered bay with moderate wave exposure and rocky structure throughout. The northeast-facing shoreline provides a relatively protected setting compared to open ocean breaks. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°), which provide side-shore flow parallel to the coastline. Wind reliability is modest at 31.6%, with average winds around 10.4 knots. Waves average 2.61m in rough water conditions. The bay's rocky nature creates hazardous features including exposed reefs, shallow zones, and boulders that require careful navigation. This spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with technical terrain and variable conditions. The protected bay setting reduces wind consistency compared to exposed coastal breaks, and the rocky underwater features demand awareness of hazard locations. Water temperatures average 13.3°C, requiring thermal protection. Access constraints and the technical nature of the terrain mean this spot is best suited for experienced local kiters familiar with the specific hazards and conditions.
