Beach and Tide Conditions
Recommended
tide for kitesurfing is
High Tide,Coming Tide,Falling Tide
.
Wellington Point, Australia is a
Shallow, Flat and Chop spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Small size.
Sandy/rocky beach. Grass area, but the council does not like launching kites from it and does not allow it. You can launch on the sandbar.
Perfect flat water conditions in all winds. Shallow area. Choppy with Southeast winds. A south easterly is best ridden on a mid to high tide - at low tide it is too shallow. Some guys ride the channel when it is like this, but the launch is sketchy as it is just upwind of the pier - it is actually very rare to see kiters out at low tide on a SE - most just go elsewhere. Booties are nice to have as there is a mixture of sand, mud and coral/shells in the water. The water is filthy but does not smell too much. Sharp rocks/shells so you will need booties.
