Dunsborough

Dunsborough is located on the western coast of Australia in a protected bay environment. The spot features a gently shelving sandy beach with extensive shallow water zones visible in the satellite imagery. The turquoise water indicates a shallow lagoon-like area transitioning to deeper offshore waters. Wind reliability is relatively low at 19.4%, suggesting this spot experiences inconsistent conditions throughout the year. Average wind of 9.6 knots is modest, requiring riders to work with marginal wind days. Best wind direction is from the northwest (315°), which provides side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline orientation. Wave conditions average 1.94m with rough water characteristics. The substantial residential development along the shore indicates moderate foot traffic and potential boat activity. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking sheltered, shallow-water practice conditions. The extensive shallows allow for easy water entry and exit, though riders should be aware of sandbars and variable depths. Water temperature of 17.6°C requires appropriate thermal protection. Conditions are most favorable during periods of sustained northwest wind.
