The location, giving in Sunshine Coast, can be crowded, especially during the weekends. In order to regulate the kite-surfers circulation on the spot, a Noosa River Code of Conduct was developed to improve safety in the Noosa River Mouth after concerns were raised relating to traffic congestion and communication issues by members of the community.
Practitioners are requested to consult the Noosa River Code of Conduct, before heading to the spot to practice kite-surfing. The Venturi type of wind is most commonly observed on the spot. With a medium wind force, (16-25 kn/30-46.3 kph), the kite-surfers will come across a south east main wind direction. However the best wind direction, observed in the spot, is from northeast, ideal for free style kite-surfers. Water’s temperature varies from 22 to 25 °C/71.6 to 77 °F in the summer while it is decreased to 17 °C/62.6 °F in the winter. Thin wetsuit is needed during practicing in winter while the only protection you may need during summers is a rash vest against the sun.
The best period to visit and practice kite-surf on the spot is from September to January. Training centers, kite-surfing schools and gear rentals are also identified in the vicinity of the location, accommodation and leisure options as well.
