Little Makaha

Little Makaha is a beach break located on the NSW Central Coast of Australia, positioned on a northeast-facing headland. The spot features a narrow sandy beach flanked by rocky outcrops and elevated terrain, creating an exposed oceanside position with direct ocean swell exposure. The break works best with westerly to northwesterly winds providing side-shore conditions. Wave heights average 1.07m with variable reliability (3.9%), suggesting inconsistent swell patterns typical of the region. Average water temperature of 18.3°C requires thermal protection. This location suits intermediate kitesurfers comfortable navigating around fixed hazards and rocky features. The narrow beach and cliff-backed setting limit space for launching and landing. Strong currents around rocky points are likely. Best winds average 6.4 knots, which is marginal for consistent kitesurfing. Access and exit points appear limited due to the coastal topography. Swell exposure and rocky features demand solid wave awareness and local knowledge before attempting this spot.
