Water is flat water to choppy. The tide is not extreme, you can kite on a high or low tide. Launch from the kite area on the beach and head south to Green Pt a few hundred metres to find the odd bay wave as the chop breaks over the reef - tiny, but can be fun. The reef is bare at low tide.

Plenty of grass to set and pack up. The beach is wide. There is enough space to launch and land without a hassle. Pick your launching and landing spot carefully. On S winds the landing is rocky if you go downwind. On N winds there are safe landing areas but beware of the family swimming beach.
