Little Island

Little Island is located in a sheltered bay on the southwestern Australian coast, facing west-southwest toward the Indian Ocean. The spot features a developed marina with extensive mooring fields adjacent to suburban development. The bay itself provides protected waters with moderate wave generation, though fetch is limited by the surrounding geography. This is primarily a beach break with sandy bottom and gradual slope. The marina creates significant hazard considerations, including boat traffic, mooring lines, and potential current complications near the entrance channel. Best conditions occur with northerly to northeasterly winds providing side-shore approaches. The spot suits beginners and early intermediate kiters seeking protected water conditions with smaller, manageable waves. Wind reliability is relatively low at 15.3%, requiring patience for suitable sessions. Water temperatures average 19.5°C, typically requiring a wetsuit. Kiters should maintain awareness of the active marina, respect restricted areas, and avoid peak recreational hours when swimmers and other water users are present.
