Beachport

Beachport is a bay-facing kitesurfing location on Australia's southern coast, featuring a protected embayment with moderate fetch. The spot is sheltered by coastal dikes and vegetated headlands that define a west-facing bay with sandy beach and shallow approach waters. Wave heights average 2.67m with rough water conditions typical of temperate southern Australian waters. The visible sediment plume suggests tidal currents and freshwater influence affecting water conditions. Wind reliability is modest at 22.8%, with average winds around 9.3 knots. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The infrastructure visible (seawall, roads, residential areas) limits landing zones and requires careful route planning. Intermediate kiters should expect variable conditions and be prepared for shallow water zones near shore. Lower wind reliability means sessions may be limited. The protected bay setting reduces exposure to ocean swell compared to open coast breaks but also limits wave development.
