About This Spot
Godfrey's Beach is located on the northeastern coast of Victoria, Australia, facing northeast into a protected bay. The spot features a sandy beach backed by grassy pastoral land and residential development, with tree cover providing natural wind barriers. The bay configuration creates a sheltered but somewhat enclosed water body, limiting wind fetch and consistency. Water conditions appear choppy rather than wave-formed, typical of a bay environment with limited swell exposure. The low wind reliability (14.7%) and modest average wind speed (8.1 knots) suggest this is a marginal wind resource requiring patience for sessions. Best conditions occur with northwesterly or southwesterly winds that approach side-shore angles. The shallow bay waters and visible obstacles make this most suitable for beginner to intermediate kiters seeking a protected learning environment. Riders should be aware of limited space, potential wind shadow effects from surrounding terrain, and the need to avoid shallow areas and rocky sections. This spot prioritizes safety and accessibility over challenge.
