About This Spot
Greenhead is a coastal beach break located on Western Australia's Indian Ocean coastline, facing west toward open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach adjacent to a residential development, with notable reef and rock formations visible offshore creating variable wave patterns. The area shows exposure to significant swell with average waves of 2.26m and rough water conditions. Wind reliability is modest at 10.3% with average winds of 8.3 knots, suggesting this is a seasonal spot dependent on weather systems. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (side-shore orientation). The relatively shallow water with visible reef structures and rock hazards makes this suitable primarily for beginner to intermediate kiters familiar with obstacle navigation. The proximity of residential areas and limited beach access affects usability. Water temperature around 20°C indicates temperate conditions. Kiters should assess tide-dependent hazard exposure and obtain local knowledge before sessions, as reef interactions and rocky outcrops present real risks during lower tides or adverse conditions.
