About This Spot
Furries is located on Victoria's exposed southern coastline, facing west toward the open ocean. The spot features a narrow sandy beach backed by vegetated headland and open water with substantial swell. Wave heights averaging 2.67m indicate consistent ocean exposure with rough water conditions typical of this southern Australian coast. The presence of visible rocky outcrops and shallow reefs near shore creates navigation challenges and hazard zones. Wind reliability is moderate at 23.5%, with prevailing conditions favoring northerly winds that provide side-shore conditions. The narrow beach and rocky features limit maneuvering space compared to larger break areas. This spot suits intermediate to advanced kiters comfortable with stronger water conditions, rocky hazards, and variable wind patterns. Best conditions typically occur during northern wind swells with adequate fetch. Kiters should be experienced with hazard avoidance and current management. Water temperature averaging 12.9°C requires appropriate thermal protection. Local knowledge of tidal influences and seasonal swell patterns is recommended before attempting this exposed coastal location.
