Adelaide, the liveliest city in Australia, is the capital of South Australia state and is situated on the Adelaide Plains and more specifically at the north side of Fleurieu Peninsula. It was built next to Torrens River and is surrounded by the Mount Lofty Ranges and the Gulf St Vincent. The climate is considered to be Mediterranean, with dry and hot summers when temperatures can reach up to 42°C/107.60°F, and humid and cool winters with frequent rainfalls.

Adelaide is a popular destination for the lovers of kitesurfing offering a great number of beaches, suitable for this extreme sport. North Haven Beach (also known as The Wall) is situated on the northwest side of the city.

The Beach has fine, soft sand and the water is generally flat and smooth. Try to go beyond the breakwater, as you will have many opportunities for good jumps. The wave size is perfect for the advanced/expert kitesurfer. The winds are North-Westerlies and have speeds from 10 to 20 kn/18.5-37 kph.

Note: Be careful of the occasional heavy seaweed.
