Nearby Windguru Forecasts
A good spot that does not get too crowded.
You can inflate your kite on the grass atop the dune and then carry it to the beach. There is also a good wide beach for rigging and launching.
The harbour provides some shelter from the wind and chop, continue out for clean wind.
This is a good spot for a downwinder to Brighton or St Kilda.
