Frankston

Frankston is a bay-style kitesurfing location on Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, Australia. The coastline faces northwest toward the bay, creating a relatively protected water body with sandy bottom characteristics. The spot features a gradual beach break suitable for progression, though the narrow wind window and low average wind speed (7.0 knots) limits session frequency. Visible infrastructure including piers and industrial areas restrict launching zones and require navigation awareness. Water conditions are typically choppy rather than swell-driven due to the bay's enclosed nature. Northeast winds provide the most consistent side-shore conditions for kitesurfing here. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected, manageable conditions rather than powerful riding. Low wind reliability (8.8%) means sessions are infrequent, and average wave heights of 0.59m indicate small, controlled conditions. The bay setting means relatively benign conditions overall, making this suitable for skill-building in a non-threatening environment, though riders should be aware of commercial vessel traffic and respect marked navigation channels.
