Dolls Point

Dolls Point is a protected bay located on Sydney's southern beaches, featuring a sandy beach with a gently sloping seabed. The spot consists of a sheltered embayment with shallow water conditions near shore that transition to deeper bay water. The orientation facing northeast creates a natural amphitheater for wind patterns. Given the very low wind reliability (5.8%) and modest average wind speeds (6.5 knots), this location functions primarily as a beginner-friendly spot during favorable wind windows. The protected nature of the bay limits fetch distance and natural wave generation, resulting in small average waves (1.56m). Boat traffic is present in the bay, requiring awareness of marine activity. The spot suits beginners and learners seeking calm, shallow-water conditions with minimal wave exposure. Water temperature averages 17.9°C, requiring a wetsuit. Best conditions occur when northwesterly to westerly winds align with the bay opening, providing side-shore wind. The main limitation is infrequent suitable wind conditions. Kiters should expect crowded conditions during rare good days and plan training sessions accordingly.
