How windy Coffs Harbour usually is
Each bar: how often it blew between 9:00 and 18:00 in that month, counted over about 3.5 years of weather records for The Jetty. Not a wind meter on the beach: where hills or a gap speed the wind up (Canaries, Tarifa), it often blows more than this shows.

It's the forecast model. In any wind app (Windguru, Windy…) you can pick which one to show. Not sure? GFS is the safe global default; the high-res ones (ICON-D2, AROME…) are sharper at coastal & thermal spots.

Sheltered water with flat to choppy conditions, good for cruising and freeride windsurfing.
Best for riders who are comfortable in chop. The water is sheltered, but expect a bit of chop and small waves. You can also go kitesurfing on the north side of the marina at North Wall Beach. The hard part is getting in and out when there is a shore break. On the beach there is free parking, toilets, showers, a restaurant, a cafe, a yacht club and a marina.
