Ocean Grove

Ocean Grove is a residential beach break located on Victoria's southern coast near a river estuary. The shore faces southwest toward the open ocean, with a sandy beach backed by suburban development. The spot is characterized by small, consistent waves suitable for learners, with a gradual beach entry. Wind reliability is notably low at 12.6%, making sessions infrequent and unpredictable. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore conditions. Average water temperature of 14.5°C requires winter wetsuit coverage. The spot suits beginners and early intermediate kiters due to manageable wave heights and sandy bottom. Key considerations include limited wind windows, moderate residential impact on access, and the nearby river mouth which may create variable water conditions. The presence of the estuary to the west requires attention to potential current flows. This location works best during winter swells when offshore wind patterns align with swell direction.
