Type: Ocean

Water type: Shallow, Flat, Chop

Water hazards: Currents

Water quality: Clean

Infos: Underfoot conditions aren't that great but water is flat. The north facing beach is excellent for learning. Small chop in channel. North facing spot best at high tide. Channel best when wind opposes tide. Tide current useful for increasing apparent wind.

Infos: Mixture of sand, pebbles and shells. Watch out for broken glass. Nice reserve area for easy landing of the kite. Beach is pretty small.

Identified hazards: Shells, Other

Beachgoer: None

Wind type: Thermal

Wind specificities: Summer thermals can come here for from 2 directions, N and SW. N thermal usually kicks in just before midday and usually peaks at 15 knots (more on occasions) and consistent for those big kite sessions. The SW thermal usually doesn't arrive until mid afternoon, if at all. Strength of SW thermal `Tamaki Doctor` varies from 10-30 knots but usually 15-25kt. In between period creates a hot windless patch with rapidly forming cloud which may produce rain and even thunder. Best directions here are from NE-N and WSW, SW. Winter and spring don't have suitable directions for this beach and the winds then are usually too strong for this place to handle.

Best months: January, February, March, April, December
