About Umina
The season is all year-round with summer being the best for Southerlies and winter and spring are good too. The wind when it blows from the South averages about 12-18 knots but of course like any other place it gets its windy days and bad days but it is generally pretty reliable. The main winds around here are Southerly and Northeasterlies (sea breezes) in summer and spring. In autumn you don't get much wind and in winter you get W, SW and S. This place works with anything with South in it (SW is dangerous, be careful!) but if the wind is from somewhere else there are other beaches within 40 minutes drive. Umina only works in SE through to SW. Autumn is the no wind period, but in the NSW region but you may get lucky. For kitesurfers, kiteboarders, snowkiters and landkiters. All info you ever wanted!
