Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Shallow reef creating wave breaks, suited for experienced riders
Flynns Reef is located on Victoria's south coast where a prominent reef system meets the open ocean. The coastline faces northwest toward the water, with the reef creating distinct conditions between protected inner areas and exposed outer zones. The spot features a complex reef structure visible in the imagery, with visible wave patterns indicating significant swell interaction. The average wave height of 1.86m and rough water conditions reflect reef-induced turbulence and variable swell exposure. Wind reliability of only 11.8% suggests highly variable conditions typical of southern Australian coastal areas. This is an advanced spot requiring strong wave reading skills and reef awareness. Kiters should operate during side-shore winds from the northeast (approximately 45°) to maintain safe seaward drift. The narrow window of favorable conditions combined with low wind reliability makes this a specialist destination. Best suited for experienced kiters comfortable with reef hazards, strong currents, and dynamic wave patterns. Local knowledge of tidal cycles and swell direction is essential, as conditions change substantially throughout the day and with swell direction variations.
