IntermediateSkill Level
E90°Best Wind
Shallow reef creating wave breaks, suited for experienced riders
About This Spot
Boat Ramp Reef is located on the Indian Ocean coast of Western Australia, featuring a reef break system with exposed shallow formations. The spot faces south toward open ocean, with visible reef structures creating defined white water patterns. The reef provides wave-generating features in moderate swell conditions. Best conditions occur with easterly winds (90°) providing side-shore alignment parallel to the coastline. With average wind reliability of only 11.5% and variable conditions, sessions are best timed around wind events. Water temperatures average 16.6°C requiring thermal protection. Wave heights average 2.73m with rough water conditions indicating established swell patterns. The reef's shallow nature and visible rock formations require intermediate-level skills for safe navigation. The developed residential area immediately adjacent limits crowd management and extended session possibilities. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with reef awareness and varying bottom contours.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow reef formations visible in turquoise water
Rocky outcrops and white water breaking patterns indicate submerged obstacles
Strong currents likely around reef structure
Residential area proximity may limit session length
