Brighton Wind Conditions

This page provides current wind speed, gusts, direction and recent trends to help sailors, windsurfers, kitesurfers, foilers, surfers, pilots, paragliders, drone operators, and other outdoor and marine enthusiasts understand wind behaviour across Inner southeastern Port Phillip Bay and Melbourne’s bayside suburbs.

Brighton experiences similar bay-driven wind patterns to nearby St Kilda, but is slightly more sheltered from strong synoptic westerlies due to its position further south along Port Phillip Bay. Summer sea breezes commonly arrive from the south to southwest during the afternoon, often producing smooth and usable wind conditions near the shoreline. Wind strength typically decreases closer to shore due to urban and coastal friction, while stronger flows can be found slightly offshore or during frontal changes.
