Overview

<![CDATA[Point Impossible is a kitesurfing spot located on the Surf Coast in Victoria, between Torquay and 13th Beach. It is a very popular spot for kitesurfing, often considered one of the best in the region thanks to its long beach and ideal exposure to prevailing winds. The prevailing wind comes from the southwest to west in summer, blowing cross-shore. Waves are consistent and of good quality. The bottom is sandy and the beach is very long, offering considerable space to sail without constraints. The best season is from November to March. The spot is suitable for intermediate riders. The water is cold (14-18°C), a 4/3 wetsuit is required. Access is via a path from the parking lot at the top of the cliff. It is a benchmark spot for the Surf Coast kite community.]]>
