About Safety Bay.
Safety Bay, known as The Pond, is a flat-water strip south of Rockingham, sheltered by the sandbar out to Penguin Island.

- WNW (290°). Offshore wind here comes from the ESE.

- Swell from SW to NW (220° to 310°) reaches the spot.

- Beach.
Because it's sheltered, swell barely matters here. The score comes down to the wind.
How the kite score works.
Wind speed and direction carry most of the kitesurfing score. Side-shore and side-onshore wind score best. Offshore wind gets the lowest direction score, because it blows you away from the beach.
Wingfoiling and windsurfing are scored separately, because each wants different wind.
