About This Spot
Ledge Point is a shallow bay located on Western Australia's coast, characterized by a protected northwest-facing shore with a sandy beach and clear water stratification. The bay is partially enclosed by rocky formations visible in the northern waters, creating a semi-protected environment. The substantial sand flats visible in the imagery indicate significant tidal influence and gradual depth progression, making it accessible for varied skill levels. Wind reliability is notably low at 20.6%, so conditions are best during seasonal wind patterns typical for southwestern Australia. Side-shore winds from the northeast to southeast are ideal for this orientation. Wave heights average 2.42m, relatively modest for the region. This spot suits beginners to intermediate riders seeking a sheltered bay environment with manageable water conditions. The shallow approach and sandy bottom provide safer conditions for progression. Key considerations include checking tide times due to extensive sand flats, monitoring variable wind conditions, and being aware of the rocky formations further offshore. Best suited for sessions during spring and summer months when prevailing winds are more consistent.
Hazards & Safety
Rocky outcrops visible in deeper water (north/upper portion of bay)
Shallow sandy areas with variable depth near shore
Low wind reliability (20.6%) requires patience for suitable conditions
Residential proximity may indicate boat traffic during summer months
Tidal sand patterns suggest strong tidal currents
