Robe

Robe is a beach break located on South Australia's southeastern coast, facing westward toward the Southern Ocean. The spot features a long sandy beach with consistent swell exposure but notably low wind reliability at only 18.2%. Average winds of 8.7 knots are marginal for kitesurfing, requiring careful timing and conditions monitoring. The coastline runs north-south, making northerly and southerly winds side-shore and suitable for riding. Water temperatures average 14.7°C, requiring a wetsuit year-round. Wave heights average 2.41m with rough conditions typical of Southern Ocean exposure. The surrounding landscape shows dense vegetation and agricultural land backing the beach. Best conditions occur during stronger wind events, which are infrequent. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with variable conditions and willing to travel for consistent sessions. The low wind reliability makes Robe unreliable for regular training, though swell consistency provides wave opportunities when wind aligns. Access appears straightforward via established roads visible in the agricultural grid pattern.
