Flinders

Flinders is a bay-style kitesurfing location on Victoria's southeastern coast, with the shoreline oriented northeast-southwest facing into Port Phillip Bay. The spot features a mix of sandy beach and rocky outcrops, with a established pier structure visible in the water. The bay provides partially protected conditions compared to open ocean exposure, though water conditions remain variable with average 1.89m waves. Wind reliability is notably low at 10.9% with average winds of 7.7 knots, requiring patience for consistent sessions. Best conditions occur with westerly or northwesterly winds providing side-shore conditions. The shallow near-shore areas and visible pier require careful navigation and good spatial awareness. Rock formations along the southern end present additional obstacles. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with variable conditions and moderate technical demands. Boat traffic appears present in designated areas, necessitating situational awareness. Summer months typically offer more favorable wind patterns for this location.
