About This Spot
Scotts Point is a sheltered bay location on the Australian east coast facing northeast into protected waters. The site appears to be a residential coastal area with a sandy beach break transitioning to shallow bay waters. The spot benefits from being in a relatively enclosed bay formation, which provides some wind acceleration from northeastern quadrant approaches.
Conditions are consistently light, with an average wind speed of only 5 knots and extremely low wind reliability at 0.6%. Wave energy is minimal at 0.51m average, making this primarily a light-wind training venue rather than a productive session spot. Water temperatures around 20.5°C are moderate and year-round swimmable.
This spot suits complete beginners and those practicing light-wind techniques, as the shallow bay water, minimal waves, and residential setting create a forgiving environment. The choppy water texture suggests localized wind pattern conflicts typical of bay spots.
Kiters should expect extended periods of insufficient wind and should plan sessions during peak thermal or sea-breeze windows. The residential proximity and visible infrastructure indicate limited space and possible access restrictions. Best approached as a practice venue for light-wind skills rather than a primary destination.
