Beach and Tide Conditions
Kitesurfing conditions
do not depend on Tide
on this spot.
Palm Beach Ocean Side, Australia is a
Small waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Big size.
Palm Beach is a peninsula about 500m wide bound on the far N side by Barrenjoey headland and lighthouse. Beautiful pristine golden sand beach, probably as beautiful as sand gets. There is ample parking nearby and adjacent grass rigging spot. Beach is approximately 50-100m wide and there is ample room to launch, although on crowded summer days care needs to be taken as the beach can get a little crowded with bathers. Be careful of traveling too far downwind in summer when a bathing area defined by yellow and red flags is in effect, this is strictly a 'no go' area. Tides.
Water is crystal clear. The ocean side is best during summer when NE sea breezes prevail. Waves are usually between 1-4 feet and sucky, a few rocks near the water's edge in places, of no real consequence.
