South Australia – Goolwa Beach
Welcome to Goolwa — the stomping ground of the south, where the ocean feels endless, the beach is wide enough to get lost on, and the wind shows up ready to party. This place isn’t just kiteable — it’s iconic. Long downwinders, rolling swell, and enough space to find your own slice of frothy heaven.
Best on SE to SW winds, Goolwa delivers cross-shore setups and big fat waves that just keep coming. Launch anywhere along the drive-on stretch — 4WD access makes rigging a breeze and chasing the cleanest lines even easier. Just keep an eye on the tides and don’t get cocky in the soft stuff.
On its day, this place gets wild — proper big surf sessions with punchy walls and endless room to carve, slash, and send it. Goolwa’s hosted the KSA Wave Titles for a reason: when it’s on, it’s one of the best.
It’s not just a beach — it’s a whole coast. Ride it like you mean it.
