About This Spot
Green Point Beach is a coastal beach break located on Victoria's south-western coastline in southeastern Australia, facing northeast into Bass Strait. The spot features a narrow sandy beach backed by steep green cliffs with scattered rocky outcrops both onshore and in the nearshore zone. The water transitions from turquoise in shallows to deeper blue, indicating variable bathymetry and rocky features.
This location is characterized by rough water conditions and moderate wave exposure. The narrow beach and cliff terrain limit access and exit options, making planning essential. Wind reliability at 31.6% suggests inconsistent conditions typical of southern Australian coastal areas. Average wind of 10.4 knots is marginal for kitesurfing, requiring larger kites or higher wind periods.
Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) provide the safest riding conditions relative to the northeast-facing coastline. The spot suits intermediate to advanced kiters comfortable with rocky terrain, limited bail-out zones, and variable conditions. Beginners should avoid due to access constraints and hazardous features. Low water temperature (13.3°C) requires appropriate thermal protection year-round.
