Lancelin Bay

Lancelin Bay is a sheltered bay on Western Australia's coast, facing west toward the Indian Ocean. The bay provides a protected water body with gradual depth transitions, making it suitable for recreational water sports. The northern section shows clearer shallow waters with visible sand patterns, while vegetated areas along the southern portion indicate natural coastal features. The low wind reliability (15.2%) and modest average wind speed (8.8 knots) suggest this location requires patience for consistent conditions. Best winds come from the north, providing side-shore conditions parallel to the main beach access areas. The bay's relatively protected nature and moderate wave heights (2.37m average) make it accessible for intermediate kiters seeking flatter water conditions. Shallow areas near shore require careful launching and landing. Low water temperature (19.4°C) necessitates appropriate thermal protection. The proximity of residential development indicates moderate local usage. This spot suits kiters preferring bay conditions over open ocean exposure, though inconsistent wind limits session frequency.
