Middleton Day St

Middleton Day St is a sheltered beach-break located on South Australia's Gulf St Vincent coastline, approximately 35km south of Adelaide. The spot features a northwest-facing shore protected by suburban development inland and gradual sandy bottom near-shore. The beach experiences consistent small-to-moderate waves (1.29m average) suitable for progression, with a bay setting providing natural wind acceleration and protection from extreme swell. Best conditions occur with northeast winds providing clean side-shore conditions. The area suits beginner to intermediate kiters due to manageable wave size and relatively forgiving waters, though low wind reliability (22.4%) means sessions are weather-dependent. Watch for potential rip current activity in deeper channels beyond the break zone, and maintain awareness of residential proximity. The protected bay setting makes this ideal for skill development, though advanced riders seeking challenge should look elsewhere. Water temperature averages 15.7°C, requiring wetsuit consideration during cooler months.
