The Granites

Waves, beach break, small to medium and nice waves, onshore. Can be heavy especially in winter. Tides in spring, summer and autumn are good, fluctuate more towards winter. Summer tides are best. Waves are excellent ramps, the longer and stronger the side onshore the more scalloped they get, but it is sideonshore and perfect set up so enjoy those waves. Heading out into the waves in summer they are not too heavy and so make for pleasant ride, it's busy and you have to keep your eyes open as in all wave spots. On the way in and out between the waves the usual flat sections. Wide open sandy beach which is about 150 kms long. It's one of the longest continuous beaches in the world, and one where you can drive on. This beach has so much room, just get away from the people and find your own spot. Most of summer you can drive on it with a regular car, check with the locals at Kingston to see if all is okay as conditions change. Best time of the year is summer when the prevailing SE wind patterns set up the sea breeze. Wind will normally go to the south (sideonshore) about midday in summer and then pick up to smaller sized gear at about 4 pm. Be ready for very strong wind at this time, sometimes it comes in and sometimes not. In summer the water is comfortable, sometimes a wetsuit makes it that much nicer but some people ride without. Water: Smallwave, Mediumwave. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
