About This Spot
Wellington Point, 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 water conditions, making it ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike.
With NE–SE winds, peaking from January to December, Wellington Point, Australia delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
Best direction is the sea breeze from Northeast. The only one which may cause problems is dead southerly where it becomes gusty. Best direction is Northeast where you ride parallel with the sand bar. Next best is Southeasterly.
When to Go
Board shorts temperature for the majority of the year. Wetsuit may be needed from June to early September. Season is all year round.
What to Expect
Perfect flat water conditions in all winds. Shallow area. Choppy with Southeast winds. A south easterly is best ridden on a mid to high tide - at low tide it is too shallow. Some guys ride the channel when it is like this, but the launch is sketchy as it is just upwind of the pier - it is actually very rare to see kiters out at low tide on a SE - most just go elsewhere. Booties are nice to have as there is a mixture of sand, mud and coral/shells in the water. The water is filthy but does not smell too much. Sharp rocks/shells so you will need booties.
