Marlo kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

Australia · Victoria

Spot currently openIntermediate level -37.8 | 148.55

Overview

Marlo is a kitesurfing spot located at the mouth of the Snowy River, in East Gippsland, Victoria. This isolated spot offers both an exposed ocean beach and a calmer body of water in the river estuary. Riders can choose between ocean waves and the flat water of the estuary depending on their level.

The prevailing southwest to west winds blow side-shore on the ocean beach. The estuary offers more sheltered conditions for beginners. The spot is particularly pleasant in summer with afternoon thermal breezes. The area is wild and uncrowded.

Marlo is a small village with limited services. Parking is available near the beach and estuary. Watch out for currents at the river mouth and shifting sandbars.
