About This Spot
This is a protected lagoon system located on Australia's east coast, characterized by a wide sandy beach on the western shore and rocky headlands enclosing the bay. The lagoon provides natural protection from ocean swell, resulting in consistently small waves (0.65m average) and choppy water conditions typical of protected bays. A marina facility on the western side indicates managed boat traffic and infrastructure. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters due to protected conditions and shallow water, though the low average wind speed (9.1 knots) and poor reliability (24.5%) present significant limitations. Best conditions occur with northeast winds providing side-shore conditions for the main beach. The water is relatively warm year-round. Kiters should account for boat traffic near the marina, variable shallow areas, and the lagoon's limited fetch which prevents development of organized swell patterns. This location is better suited for light-wind practice and progression than for session-focused trips.
