Cape le Grand

Cape le Grand is a Western Australian beach break featuring a long, white sandy beach fronting dense coastal forest and rocky headlands. The spot faces west toward the Indian Ocean, with side-shore wind potential from northerly and southerly directions. The southern section displays significant rocky outcrops and reef formations that break up swell patterns, while the northern beach offers more open water access. Water conditions show variable depth with visible reef structures and potential for strong rip currents. The spot receives limited swell due to modest wave averages (1.21m), making it more suitable for lighter wind conditions and cross-shore sessions. The low wind reliability (6%) suggests inconsistent thermal and pressure-driven winds. Best suited for intermediate kiters seeking a less-crowded, reef-aware option with technical navigation requirements. The isolated location and rocky hazards demand local knowledge and respect for changing conditions. Access via winding coastal road indicates limited facilities and rescue services, requiring self-sufficiency and conservative decision-making.
