Snapper Point

Snapper Point is a sheltered beach break located on South Australia's coastal strip, facing northwest toward the ocean. The spot features a sandy beach adjacent to residential areas, with a vegetated headland visible in the satellite imagery providing some wind protection. The shallow, choppy water conditions indicate a nursery-type environment with limited wave development, making this suitable for learning and progression rather than performance sessions. Wind reliability is notably low at 23.4%, suggesting inconsistent conditions throughout the year. Average wave heights of 0.75m confirm small, manageable surf suitable for beginners. Best conditions occur with northeast winds (45°) providing side-shore flow along the northwest-facing beach. The proximity to housing and coastal infrastructure means the spot experiences foot traffic and potential congestion during good conditions. Water temperatures averaging 16.6°C require seasonal consideration for thermal protection. This spot works best for beginner and early-intermediate kiters seeking protected, predictable conditions with minimal swell exposure.
