About This Spot
This Sydney beach break spot faces northeast toward the Tasman Sea, with a northeast-facing coastline typical of the New South Wales coast. The open ocean setting provides direct wave exposure but limited fetch protection. Average conditions are quite mild with 1.45m waves and modest 5.2-knot winds, making this suitable for beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking light-wind practice. The major constraint is extremely poor wind reliability at 1.2% annually, indicating this location receives consistent rideable wind only on rare occasions. Best wind would come from the southeast (side-shore), which aligns with Sydney's occasional southerly patterns. The beach break format means conditions vary with swell direction and sandbar position. Water temperature around 18.2°C requires a light wetsuit year-round. This spot functions primarily as a light-wind training location rather than a reliable destination. Kiters should check detailed local forecasts before traveling, as consistent sessions are uncommon. The relatively sheltered beach setting limits hazards compared to exposed reef or point breaks.
Hazards & Safety
Low wind reliability (1.2%) - very inconsistent conditions
Small average wave height (1.45m) - limited wave development
Shallow water near shore - potential for contact with bottom
Beach break hazards - dynamic sandbar conditions
Possible hidden rocks or debris common to Sydney coastal areas
