Located at the south-east end of the Linwood Paddocks off Humphreys Drive, this site sits alongside the Ōpāwaho / Heathcote River where it meets the Avon-Heathcote Estuary.

The ramp here is suitable for hand launching only — there is no vehicle access to the water. The estuary is extensive mudflat at low tide and covered by water at high tide, so conditions vary considerably; water can be shallow.

The area is well known as a windsurfing and kitesurfing spot, particularly when high tide coincides with a stiff easterly. Facilities on site include parking, toilets, cold showers, and grass areas for rigging gear.
