About This Spot
Caravan Park Beach is a protected bay-facing beach break located in southeastern Australia with a northeast-facing coastline. The spot features a long sandy beach backed by developed residential and caravan park areas, with tree-lined vegetation providing a natural buffer. The turquoise water indicates shallow conditions typical of protected bays, with the beach shelving gradually from shore. A rocky headland visible on the eastern side provides partial protection from ocean swell but may create localized currents. With average wind of 8.1 knots and low reliability at 14.7%, conditions are marginal for kitesurfing. The northwest wind direction offers the best side-shore conditions for safe launching and landing. Small average waves of 0.57m and choppy water conditions suggest this spot works best during stronger wind events or storms. The proximity to residential development and limited space make this suitable primarily for beginner kiters practicing in light winds. Safety considerations include shallow water requiring careful navigation, nearby boat traffic, and respecting the caravan park boundaries.
