Overview

Fishos / Whites is a kitesurfing spot located in Torquay, on the Surf Coast of Victoria. This spot, popular with locals, offers varied sailing conditions with quality waves. The name refers to the fishing areas and Whites Beach. The prevailing southwest to west winds blow side-shore on this south-facing beach. Conditions are excellent for wave riding and freeride. The Surf Coast benefits from regular winds in summer with afternoon thermal breezes. Access is from Torquay with parking nearby. Beware of surfers sharing the spot and rocks. Torquay is the Australian surfing capital with many shops and schools.
