Overview

<![CDATA[North Haven "The Wall" is a kitesurfing spot located on Adelaide's north coast in South Australia, near the port of North Haven. The "wall" refers to the port breakwater that creates a sheltered area ideal for kitesurfing. The prevailing wind comes from the southwest in summer (thermal sea breeze). The breakwater provides protection that creates flat water conditions behind the wall, while allowing access to more challenging conditions beyond. It is a versatile spot. The best season is from November to March. The spot is suitable for beginners (sheltered side) and intermediates. Watch out for boat traffic at the port entrance. Parking available nearby. It is a popular spot within Adelaide's kite community.]]>
