About Snapper Point
As it is frontal you really have to be here for a while if you wanted to ride snapper. Winter is fairly reliable but you you came down for a week you may get 4 days in a row or none. This coast gets a westerly pattern in winter which is fabulous, however you have to sit through rain and shifting conditions, but this is one of the best! The ride is frontal, and you have to pick the times and not risk being ahead of too much front. You need to read the weather pattern and check the local wind in the area and access the tide heights. For kitesurfers, kiteboarders, snowkiters and landkiters. All info you ever wanted! Forum, Spots, Videos
