About This Spot
Woody Point is a sheltered bay located on Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia. The spot faces west into a protected embayment with residential suburbs backing the shore. The bay receives limited wind exposure due to surrounding development and geographic sheltering, evidenced by extremely low wind reliability at just 0.6%. Water conditions are characteristically choppy rather than well-formed, with small average wave heights of 0.51m. The shallow bay bottom and muddy substrate create turbid water typical of this coastal area. A jetty structure at the southern end provides a navigational hazard. Average wind speeds of only 5 knots and water temperatures around 20.5°C suggest this location is marginal for kitesurfing and better suited to calm-weather sessions. Side-shore winds from the north (around 0°) would be ideal, though such conditions occur rarely. This spot suits beginners seeking flat-water practice in protected conditions, but visiting kiters should expect minimal wind, choppy seas, and frequent flat spells. The proximity to residential areas means noise considerations apply.
