Bunker Beach

Bunker Beach is a protected bay located on Australia's southwestern coast near Perth. The bay features a curved sandy beach with turquoise shallow waters, backed by coastal dunes and dense forest vegetation. Dark rocky features visible in the water suggest shallow reefs or rock formations that define the bay's bathymetry. This is a sheltered bay environment rather than exposed ocean, providing calmer conditions suitable for learning. The northeast-facing shore receives best conditions from northwesterly to westerly winds (side-shore orientation). However, the spot's primary limitation is low wind reliability at 19.4%, making consistent sessions difficult. Average wind speeds of 9.6 knots are marginal for kitesurfing. The shallow protected waters and moderate 2.14m average wave heights make this suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking manageable conditions. The developed beachfront and residential areas restrict launching and landing zones. The presence of shallow water and visible rock features requires careful navigation to avoid equipment damage and injury. Best conditions occur during winter wind events when westerly winds strengthen.
