Launch notes

Launch from the flat water beach during consistent WNW to NW winds. The shallow, sheltered bay provides ideal beginner conditions with minimal chop, though tidal currents can affect water movement.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 13-17m kites for average winds of 11.8 knots; consider a slightly larger quiver for lighter wind days. Directional or hybrid boards work well in the flat water conditions.

Clothing · A 2-3mm wetsuit is sufficient during winter months (Nov-Mar); switch to a spring suit or rash guard during summer when water temperatures exceed 30°C. Sun protection is essential year-round.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect designated kite zones and maintain distance from swimmers and other water sports users. The area is popular with locals, so avoid launching during peak beach hours and follow any posted regulations.

Additional notes

The best wind windows are early morning and late afternoon, particularly during peak months (May-Sep). Check tide schedules as water depth fluctuations can affect launch zones and kite control.
