Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Point Henry is located in Port Phillip Bay near Geelong, Australia, offering protected bay-side kitesurfing conditions. The spot faces west into the bay with industrial development dominating the shoreline, including manufacturing facilities and port infrastructure. The water body is a large enclosed bay with moderate fetch constraints. The presence of green algae blooms and shallow sandy areas indicates relatively enclosed, nutrient-rich water with limited flushing. Best winds come from the north, providing side-shore conditions across the beach. With average wind speeds of only 6.6 knots and 4.3% reliability, this spot works best during stronger weather systems. Wave heights average 1.29m, indicating gentle, rolling conditions suitable for progression work rather than wave riding. The spot suits beginners to early intermediates seeking protected, less crowded conditions. Kiters should monitor industrial operations, avoid shallow sandbars, and be aware of poor wind consistency that may limit session viability on lighter days.
