Elly Beach (Mullet Peninsula)

Elly Beach (Elly Bay) on the Mullet Peninsula is a large sandy launch with clean water and wide open space for kitesurfing setup and launches. Conditions are commonly described as shallow and suitable for progression, with some reports also noting medium-to-big wave potential depending on where you break and the direction/structure of swell. Wind is reported as prevailing from many directions spanning north through west, with the best wind months typically falling in March, April, May, September, and October. Providers also characterize the wind as mainly frontal/Atlantic-driven, with little thermal contribution, and describe it as steady. Wind reliability is noted as higher in spring and autumn. Safety factors to plan for include currents and rocks. In addition, winter conditions can be extremely cold and typically require a long and very thick wetsuit; seasonal swimming-zone rules can apply in summer, so avoid swimming areas. The bay is also described as very tidal, with water receding substantially at low tide. For kitesurfing, the spot is generally well-regarded and described as well-known in the local community, including for progression and freestyle in the flat/shallow areas, while wave riding is also possible when the swell and break conditions line up. The area has nearby access and dedicated parking, but you should avoid blocking the access road when parking.
