Why Riders Love It
The wind in arvo sea breezes here is really consistent and the Southwesterlies that come in for a few days at a time tend too rock! Winds from the SW or NW are preferred, while onshore westerlies are okay. Northerlies are just slightly offshore. Sideshore: NNW and SSE.
When to Go
Melbourne's weather ranges from highs of 10-15°C in winter (sometimes colder and often rainy) to highs near or above 30°C in summer (occasionally 40°C or more). Winter: air 8°C, water about 9°C. No wetsuit is required in summer, although some will wear spring suits, while in winter most wear full steamers and often gloves and booties.
What to Expect
Flater on the low tide because of a sandbar about 30m from the shorline, occasionally get some 3" bay wind swell working on the bar and get deeper straight after the bar. Kiteable all tides but bet on the higher tide.
