Fishermans Bay

Fishermans Bay is a sheltered coastal bay located south of Sydney, NSW, characterized by a northeast-facing shoreline with a sandy beach backed by a golf course and residential development. The bay provides moderate protection from open ocean swell due to its orientation and topographic features. Water conditions show low average wave height (1.07m) and modest wind reliability (3.9%), indicating this is primarily a light-to-moderate wind spot. The presence of the golf course immediately landside limits launch area and dictates careful equipment management. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The bay's sheltered nature makes it suitable for beginner to early intermediate riders developing technique in gentler conditions. Kiters should be aware of limited beach space, potential boat traffic, and rocky areas at the southern point. Low wind reliability means sessions may be infrequent; conditions are most consistent during seasonal wind patterns. The spot functions better as a training venue than a reliable session destination.
