Temma Harbour

Temma Harbour is located on the northwestern coast of Tasmania, Australia, facing west toward the open Tasman Sea. The spot consists of a rocky bay with mixed sand and stone substrate, characterized by exposed headlands and significant wave action from oceanic swells. The 2.66m average wave height and rough water conditions indicate substantial oceanic exposure. The site features prominent rocky outcrops and reef structures both on shore and submerged, requiring careful navigation. With average winds of 11.3 knots and moderate reliability (40.7%), northerly winds provide optimal side-shore conditions. The relatively cool water temperature (13.3°C) and exposed positioning make this location suitable for intermediate to advanced kiters comfortable with stronger conditions and rock hazard awareness. Best sessions occur during consistent wind periods with moderate swell. The limited shelter and rocky terrain require prior site knowledge and careful entry/exit planning. Suitable for kiters seeking exposed, rugged conditions rather than protected learning environments.
