Sunnyside
Great little location for windsurfing a North wind. There is a grassy area to rig at the end of the dirt carpark. In a strong northerly there is a rolling shore break about 40m north of the launch site, which is great for wave riding however it heads directly into a rock wall so don't delay your gybes.
Best Wind
North, should also be good on a West-South-West but I haven't tried it yet.
Season
Winter best for strong northerlies
Local Hazards
Rocks both north and south of launch point, so large waves with not enough wind can make launching dangerous
This is a nude beach and has a reputation, don't hang around the local toilets
Experience Level
Intermediate to Advanced windsurfers, Beach likely too small for kite launching
Sports
Windsurfing
