Hi there, I'm moving to Coolangatta from Nz in a few months. I surfed snappers on an onshore wind last time I was there. Just wondering is it possible to surf in offshore winds?
Or are there too many surfers?
Also thought wind shadows could be a problem?
Any info would be awesome.
Cheers
ive heard parko, fanning and all the other cooly kids have switched to kitesurfing the superbank...
shouldnt be too packed though???
No-one surfs snapper when it's pumping and offshore, you should be fine, I doubt most surfers would have even heard of this semi-secret spot.....
and it's a really friendly vibe in the lineup, everyone takes their turn and nobody drops in or snakes anybody else. so it should be fine to grab a few waves with the kite. then head to the surf club afterwards for a beer with the locals.
that huge hill behind the beach- doesn't block the wind at all when it's offshore, it makes it more consistent and clean.
Moving to the goldy from NZ to join the centre link surf team.... You won't be lonely....
Oh!!! Sweet answers!! Cheers for all the info guys!!
Hopefully I get a chance to meet such legends while I'm there!!!!!!!
Awesome!!
what did you expect? it's one of the stupidest questions ever posted here...what makes it so stupid is that you've been to snapper before and yet you still ask if you can kite it.
Cheers. Yeah guess it was stupid.
I've only been there on an onshore day so never
seen the crowd.
Are there any good breaks at all that you can kite?
You will get smashed if you kite snapper. But aside from that, it's a surf reserve, you can't kite there.
