About This Spot
Crazy Waves is a beach break located on the western coast of Perth, Western Australia, facing the Indian Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with visible sandbars and a shallow water gradient indicated by the turquoise coloration. The coastline runs north-south with water facing west. A coastal road and protective groyne structure border the area, creating defined boundaries. The spot receives consistent westerly winds typical of the region, though the recorded 10.7% reliability suggests seasonal wind challenges. Water temperatures around 19.6°C indicate temperate conditions. Average wave heights of 1.02m suggest small, manageable conditions suitable for learning. The spot is accessible but hemmed by urban infrastructure, limiting paddleout zones. Best conditions occur with north to northeast winds creating side-shore conditions. The shallow sandbars provide wave formation but require careful navigation. Suitable primarily for beginner to early intermediate kiters in small wind and wave conditions. Access constraints and variable reliability make this a secondary choice during optimal season windows.
Hazards & Safety
Coastal road running parallel to shore - potential spectator and traffic interference
Shallow water and sandbars visible in lighter areas - depth transitions
Rocky groyne structure visible in water - navigation hazard
Dense residential and commercial development - limited access points
Strong water temperature gradient visible in color variations - potential rips
