Halfmoon Bay

Water flat and choppy, no wave riding. Water is no more than waist deep for about 300m into the sea. No real tide - maybe 1-2 feet. Small waves (1-2 feet) normally from the North or East, depending on wind. Water is very salty. Rescue boat is available and the lifeguards are knowledgeable. Beach is sandy, but sometimes a lot of litter, so watch out for glass/items that can get tangled in your lines. Beach is about 1km long. Good idea to use a ground cover/tarp to set your kite up on. Barnacles/flat rocks on the South side, some areas underfoot, so a good idea to wear booties. No obstructions, so easy to launch/land - road about 200m away. You can park directly at the water. Wind mostly Northerly (gusty at times) between 12-20 knots. Easterly wind normally between 8-14 knots, very steady. Best direction is NE - stronger and steady. Wind fluctuates, but is best just as the place is warming up in June. All-year acceptable - very hot/humid in summer (July to September above 40°C), nice in winter (25°C). Water nice to hot, except a wetsuit needed November to January (winter). Weather ranges from unbearable in the summer (120°F air/ 95°F water) to very comfortable in the winter (90°F air/75°F water). Sun protection year round recommended and at least a thermal top in the winter. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Smallwave. Features: Rescue, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
