Point Moore
Australia · Australie occidentale
Point Moore is a large sandy beach located in Geraldton, Western Australia, about 420 kilometers north of Perth. This iconic spot is a peninsula that juts out into the ocean, making it one of the windiest places in the region. It was once a hotspot for windsurfing, and it remains an excellent kitesurfing spot appreciated for its reliable conditions and less crowded atmosphere compared to Perth.
The beach is wide and generally uncrowded, with plenty of space to set up and launch your kite. It is accessible by 4x4 and you can park directly on the beach, making access very convenient. The spot offers varied conditions depending on the area: punchy and powerful waves outside the reefs, and flatter water inside for less experienced riders.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
Point Moore receives very regular and strong winds due to its unique geographical position: the peninsula juts out about 4 kilometers into the sea and receives the wind first. The dominant wind comes from the southwest to northwest, creating side-shore to side-on conditions depending on the day. The general wind orientation relative to the beach is cross-onshore from the left.
The spot features two reefs on either side of the point, which have given their name to a local break: Hell's Gates. Outside the reefs, the waves are punchy and challenging, with strong currents and little protection from the bay. Inside the reefs, the water is much flatter, which is better suited for less confident riders and kite schools. The inner area is ideal for learning and progressing safely.
Access to the beach is easy: you can drive in 4x4 and choose your launch spot. The beach offers plenty of launch space and a safe launch. If Point Moore is too windy or too blown out, Separation Point, located just to the south, can be a good alternative with slightly more sheltered conditions.
