Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Lennox Head is a beach break located on the northern New South Wales coast of Australia, facing east toward the Tasman Sea. The spot features a long, exposed sandy beach with consistent Atlantic swell exposure and defined wave patterns. The area experiences moderate wave heights averaging 1.4 meters with variable wind conditions averaging 5.6 knots. Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) provide optimal kitesurfing conditions with the coast running north-south. The spot suits intermediate riders seeking manageable wave conditions and consistent swell exposure. Key considerations include navigating around shallow water zones near the beach, monitoring tidal currents, and being aware of the developed residential area directly adjoining the beach. The relatively low wind reliability (1.3%) suggests inconsistent thermal or sea-breeze patterns, requiring careful timing of sessions. Wave quality improves with larger ocean swells, making autumn and winter months potentially more productive despite cooler water temperatures.
