The outgoing tide here means that you are able boost endlessly without having to worry about working back up wind. The river mouth is the perfect kite park set up. You have flat water that runs out into surf, natural sand sliders and the odd sand bar to try your luck with. The surf brakes both right and left and varies depending on the sand but it is always smashable.
Warm weather all year round with water temps at 25°C in summer and 22°C in winter, +-2°C air temp much the same, can get to the high 30's°C in summer. Board shorts only from late October till early April.
From the Brisbane airport it is 1 hour north. Just take the Caloundra exit of the Bruce Highway and drive. There are also lots of other local spots to choose from. Buses leave the airport as well as a train that has a bus link to the beach.
05-03-30 holiday: this spot is pretty good for beginners as well. just go 1k down the river and you have flat water and enough space to train. some kiteschools are located at this area.
04-05-29 cheryl: the river mouth can get crowded pretty quickly but plenty of room if you want to go down the river and play in the flat or out in the break. Great spot!
04-02-14 lewis: This spot features in the Slingshot DVD. it is a natural kite park in which you can jump all day long with very little up wind work.
