The Granites

The Granites is a beach break located on Victoria's southeastern coast facing westward toward open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach fronting extensive shallow mudflats and rocky terrain, characteristic of this coastal region. A strong tidal inlet visible in the imagery creates dynamic current patterns that can affect water conditions significantly. The narrow launch zone between rocky areas requires careful navigation during entry and exit. Wind reliability is notably low at 17.2%, making this spot dependent on seasonal patterns. Best conditions arrive with northerly or southerly winds providing side-shore approaches. The rough water type and modest average wave height of 1.94m suit intermediate riders who can manage soft-bottom conditions and variable currents. Key considerations include timing tides to access firmer launch areas, avoiding shallow rocky sections, and respecting strong water movement through the inlet. This spot is better suited for experienced local kiters familiar with tidal cycles and seasonal wind patterns rather than traveling visitors.
