Level: Expert

Type: Ocean

Water type: Medium wave, Big wave

Water hazards: Swimmers, Animals, Currents, Fishernets

Infos: Easiest launching on the beach at any tide, can launch land on Kettle Park, but there are now many fences. Watch out for the updraft off the dunes in onshore winds. Can also be very gusty in sideshore winds. Stay well clear of the temporary pier for construction of the new sewage outfall.

Weather specificities: A wetsuit is always needed.

Wind type: Frontal

Wind specificities: Can be very squally and changeable weather when S or SW, pick your days, any offshore winds not recommended as the dunes mess up the wind.

Best months: January, February, March, April, September, October, November, December

Access description: by Car, Bus - Located in St. Kilda, which can be reached by bus as well.
