Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 15-17m kites for the light average winds of 10.7 kts; smaller boards work well in flat water. A twintip or directional board suits the beginner-friendly, mellow conditions.

Clothing · A 2mm spring wetsuit is adequate for subtropical Queensland year-round; wear less in summer (December-February) or none in warm months. Always wear UV protection and consider a rash guard.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect swimmers and other beach users, particularly during peak holiday periods. Keep clear of other kiters and maintain awareness of wind pattern shifts across the bay.

Additional notes

March offers the most consistent winds; visit during shoulder seasons (Feb-April, Sept-Oct) for better reliability. Check local forecasts as windy days average only 58 annually, making planning essential.
