Waterloo Bay

Waterloo Bay is a rocky coastal bay on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, facing northeast toward open ocean. The spot features exposed rocky points and reef formations that create distinctive wave patterns visible in the satellite imagery. Wave activity shows consistent rough water conditions with white water visible around the rocky outcrops. The bay provides moderate fetch from the ocean but is constrained by rocky terrain on both flanks. Best conditions occur with northwest to westerly winds that blow parallel to the coastline, providing side-shore conditions necessary for safe kitesurfing. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable navigating around obstacles and handling moderate wave conditions. Low wind reliability (20.8%) and modest average wind speeds (9.1 knots) suggest sessions are inconsistent. Water temperatures of 17.4°C require thermal protection. The rocky nature of the bay demands careful entry/exit planning and awareness of reef hazards.
