About This Spot
Anderson Inlet, Australia is one of the world's premier wind-sports destinations, located in Australia.
Situated in Australia, the spot offers Shallow and Flat and Chop and Small waves and Medium waves water conditions, making it ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike.
With E–SE–S winds throughout the season, Anderson Inlet, Australia delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
Being an inlet it is possible to kite in most winds. A northerly would be least preferred as a downwind run would leave you at the opposite side of the inlet and getting back to the launch could be hard if the wind died. W, SW, S, SE, E would all work, as the launch faces south.
When to Go
During winter the top temperature is usually in the range of 10-15°C, sometimes below 10°C. In summer the top temperature is usually in the high 20's or 30's°C, sometimes over 40°C. No wetsuit is required in summer, although a spring suit can be worn. In winter a full length steamer is required, and gloves and booties won't go astray. It is possible to ride all year, although summer is preferred.
What to Expect
Anderson inlet is a shallow inlet separated from the ocean by a large, bush covered sand bar. At low tide there is a channel that runs between large sand banks, but it is possible to kite in the channel in the right wind direction. At high tide the sand banks are covered by water, making a large area of flat water perfect for kitesurfing. Inverloch is pretty much one of the best spots in Australia. There is also a surf beach where some people kiting.
