Overview

Gerroa is a renowned kitesurfing spot located on the south coast of New South Wales, near Shoalhaven Heads. It is one of the windiest spots on the NSW south coast in summer, with nearby Seven Mile Beach offering immense space. The prevailing northeast wind in summer blows very reliably and is enhanced by the thermal effect. The spot is suitable for all levels with sheltered areas near the river and waves on the ocean beach.
