Hazards

Boat traffic and anchored vessels in harbour area - maintain awareness and stay clear of watercraftTidal currents and changing water depth - check tide times before sessionRocky outcrops and shallow areas near shore - scout launch zone carefullyWind inconsistency with average only 10.8 kts - require higher wind threshold days

Launch notes

Flat water conditions are ideal for beginners, but launch from designated areas away from boat traffic. South and southwesterly winds offer most consistent launching opportunities with better wind acceleration offshore.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring a 14-17m kite for the moderate average wind (10.8 kts); consider twin-tip boards for flat water or directional boards for light wind efficiency. Have a larger kite ready as many sessions will require it.

Clothing · A 3-4mm wetsuit is suitable year-round in NSW coastal waters, with thinner options during Jan-Feb summer months. Water temperatures range 16-22°C depending on season.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect boat channel zones and commercial fishing activity - stay clear of moored vessels and active boating areas. Coordinate with local water users and avoid peak boat traffic times.

Additional notes

Check wind forecasts carefully since only ~93 windy days annually - plan trips around predicted swell and wind windows. Summer months (Jan-Feb) and winter (Jul) offer best conditions; avoid shoulder seasons with lighter winds.
