Hi there

I am a beginner and assume that Windang is a better spot for kitesurfing than Sandon Point for me. However, an experienced local surfer in Thirroul said the opposite.

He have seen several kiters at Sandon Point. Is it a good spot for kitesurfing, and for which rider levels? Any particular local 'rules' or things one should be aware of when kiting there? Why, or why not, is Sandon Point a good kitesurfing spot for a beginner?

Appreciate all replies

In a strong southerly to South Easter "Peggie's" is the spot. (High tide( Southern point to Sandon point.))
Sandon pt can be ridden in a southerly no problems though usually when it is above 25knots. Due to the grommets still surfing Sandon pt in the lighter southerlies.

Sandon pt lefts in a nor'easter is do-able and a nice wave can come through in larger swell. In summer wait until the flags come down after 5:30pm.

Winding in a nor'easter would be easier to learn in summer in the surf (less swell) due to the protection of the island from northerly swell.
