About This Spot
Town Beach is a residential coastal location on Queensland's central coast facing eastward into open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with suburban development directly inland, separated by a narrow vegetated buffer zone. Water conditions are predominantly choppy with very small average wave heights of 0.47 meters, making it suitable only for flat-water kitesurfing or learning. Wind reliability is critically low at 0.2%, indicating this is not a consistent wind location. The best wind direction for side-shore kitesurfing would be from the north (0°), parallel to the east-facing coastline. Average wind speed of 4.9 knots is marginal for kitesurfing, requiring lighter kites and larger boards. Water temperature averages 23.1°C year-round. This spot is best suited for absolute beginners on very rare calm days or for flat-water practice, but should not be relied upon as a regular kitesurfing destination due to minimal wind and wave conditions.
