About This Spot
South Beach, Australia is one of the world's premier wind-sports destinations, located in Australia.
Situated in Australia, the spot offers Shallow and Flat water conditions, making it ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike.
With SE–SSE–S winds, peaking from January to December, South Beach, Australia delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
Works from West through South to East. Summer sea breeze 10-20 knots from South/Southeast. Other winds frontal SW which can get very strong (40 knots). Winter winds are offshore and due to our cliffs are very gusty.
When to Go
Summer air average about 26°C, water about 22°C. On a warm day can get by in shorts. Cooler days go a spring suit. Only bad time of year is late autumn and winter, although we still get out here about once a week at least.
What to Expect
Super flat. Barely a ripple. In light wind you can see everything on the surface below. Coral, fish, white sand. If your first in you'll see loads of stingrays but they leave quickly. Waves are huge out back but not rideable due to rocks.
