Queensland - Keppel Sands

Описание: Welcome to Keppel Sands, a long sweeping stretch of coastline sitting quietly on the southern edge of Keppel Bay where the afternoon seabreezes do the heavy lifting. When the ESE to SE wind fills in, it comes in clean and steady across the bay, turning what looks like a sleepy beach town into a relaxed foiling playground that really comes alive as the day heats up.

The beach itself is wide and gently sloping, with massive tidal movement shaping the session. As the tide pushes and drains, glassy sections form across the bay and long smooth runs open up that feel made for wing foiling and kite foiling. The water here stays relatively calm with very little swell making it into the bay, keeping things predictable and easy to read once you’re moving.

Timing your session is key, with the sweet spot sitting a couple of hours either side of the tide change to avoid long walks and make the most of the cleaner water. The wind generally builds through the afternoon, rewarding patience with smoother, more consistent pressure as the thermal settles in and the bay starts to empty out.

Access is simple with parking close to the beach and plenty of room to spread out, making it an ideal option if you’re chasing space rather than crowds. It’s the kind of spot where you can cruise, explore and settle into long runs, just be mindful of how far you drift as Keppel Bay is wider than it looks and the walk back along the sand can sneak up on you if you get a little too carried away.
