Overview

<![CDATA[Point Moore is a kitesurfing spot located in Geraldton, Western Australia. This spot is one of Geraldton's most iconic, offering exceptional wave conditions with the historic Point Moore Lighthouse in the background. Geraldton is considered one of the windiest cities in Australia. Prevailing south to southwest winds blow side-shore on this point. Summer thermal breezes are among the most powerful in Australia, with regular winds of 20-35 knots. The waves are of high quality and the spot is excellent for wave riding. The kite season runs from October to April. Parking is available near the lighthouse. Geraldton offers all necessary services. Watch out for rocks around the point and currents. The spot can be very windy and powerful.]]>
