Kirra North

Kirra North is a beach break located on Australia's Gold Coast, Queensland, facing northeast toward the Coral Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with consistent wave formation and a protected lagoon system visible to the south. A pier structure extends into the water mid-beach, creating both a landmark and a potential hazard. The eastern headland provides some wind shadow protection. This is a beginner-friendly location with moderate wave heights (averaging 1.31m) and generally manageable conditions. However, wind reliability is quite low at 0.9%, suggesting inconsistent conditions. Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) or southeast (135°) are ideal for safe kitesurfing without drifting toward hazards. The heavy residential development immediately adjacent to the beach means limited landing zones and potential congestion. Water temperatures average around 19.6°C, requiring seasonal wetsuit consideration. Best suited for lighter-wind days with northwestern wind patterns. Kiters should remain aware of the pier structure and coordinate with other water users in this populated beach area.
