Long Beach kitesurf and wingfoil spot

Australia · South Australia

Spot currently openAdvanced level -37.13 | 139.8

Overview

Long Beach is a kitesurf spot located in the far southeast of South Australia, near the border with Victoria. The coordinates place it in the Limestone Coast region, a coastal area known for its limestone cliffs and wild beaches. The prevailing wind comes from the southwest to west, blowing onshore on this coast exposed to the Southern Ocean. Waves can be powerful and conditions demanding. The bottom is a mix of sand and limestone reef. The spot is suited to advanced riders due to its isolation and powerful ocean conditions. Little infrastructure available. The best wind season is summer (November to March).
