About This Spot
Jimmys Beach, Australia is one of the world's premier wind-sports destinations, located in Australia.
Situated in Australia, the spot offers Flat and Chop water conditions, making it ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike.
With E–ESE–SE winds, peaking from January to December, Jimmys Beach, Australia delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
NE in summer, late November to March 10-20 knots average. S to SE winter June to October 15-30 knots average, but gusty. Best if from E, SE, W, or SW. Can ride in all wind directions because land and beaches surround, because it is like a big oval. In a NE you can kite in the ocean side at area B (Hawks Nest) or if the tide is out, then best area ever is to kite in area A (Hawks Nest, west point of harbour). The wind will be offshore but only a metre deep water for about a 100 metres. If the wind is blowing from the Southwest then you can kite at anywhere in the bay but we like it best at West at point C (Jimmys Beach). If the wind is from the South, then best forget it as the land mass on Nelson side of bay causes wind to be really gusty.
When to Go
A spring suit is usually enough. Water around 21°C, air 25-30°C.
What to Expect
Flat to choppy water.
