About This Spot
Lancelin is a coastal settlement in Western Australia positioned along a west-facing shoreline with a sandy beach and reef system. The spot features a beach break format with visible reef structures offshore that create defined wave formations. The water conditions appear rough with moderate fetch distance from the Indian Ocean. Average wave height of 2.37m provides consistent but modest swell. Wind reliability is notably low at 15.2%, meaning conditions may not be suitable on most days despite average wind speeds of 8.8 knots. The prevailing wind direction suggests northerly winds would be ideal for side-shore conditions. The presence of rocky outcrops and shallow reef areas requires local knowledge and caution. This spot suits intermediate kiters who have experience reading reef breaks and managing shallow water zones. Best conditions occur during consistent wind periods, typically in spring months. The area experiences year-round moderate temperatures around 19.4°C, making it accessible seasonally.
