Hey mate,
yeh unfortunately due bad history with local councils both kiting and windsurfing have become, non-existent in the glenelg area.

Both seacliff to the south and henley to the north are popular places for both kting and windsurfing.

Glenelg beach also has a high public usage and has plenty of water traffic when its sunny.

If your ever around again pop into Onboard at the holdfast shores marina and we can help you out.

cheers

after midnight,my memory says glenelg is not very cultured "gws"..
north glenelg used to be sh.. hot,really did love sailing here,but they made the wall higher and no wind inside,,,used to see 30 sails out on a good sea breeze.
people were either south or north of your luncheon position "gws",,glenelg is not a go to spot anymore,,although kites could be banned?

glenelg still cranks

the dredge outflow creates a bar in the middle of the bay with good ramps mid tide. it is the best spot on the Adelaide coast to sail in a 25kt + seabreeze

last summer seabreezes were often windier than semaphore- peak c breeze about 3-5 then goes SE

They are meant to be installing one of those sausage wave breaks adjacent the channel which will be sick

i usually sail it by myself - everyone thinks apartments have stuffed it - this is wrong

i will post headcam footage to prove it.

Awesome topic! I saw a nice (for onshore) wave breaking in the middle there at N Glenelg in one of the SW'ly gales and thought it would be a good spot. Must be the wave you're talking about Maris! Looks like a bit of reef from the aeroplane.
