Gnaraloo Airstrip

Gnaraloo Airstrip is a beach break located on Western Australia's remote northwest coast, facing east toward the Indian Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with exposed reef and rocky structures visible in the shallow water zone, creating complex wave patterns. The white water formations indicate strong currents and dynamic water movement typical of this exposed continental coastline. With average waves of 1.08m and moderate wind speeds of 11.5 knots, this is a smaller wave spot suited for intermediate riders. The low wind reliability (42.8%) suggests seasonal consistency issues, requiring careful planning. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore conditions. The isolated location offers flat hinterland and limited development, but access may be challenging. The shallow reef structures and visible current patterns demand awareness of local conditions and hazard navigation. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with reef and current management, particularly during consistent wind windows.
