About This Spot
Lucky Bay is a sheltered bay on Western Australia's southwest coast, facing westward into the Indian Ocean. The spot is characterized by a residential coastal community with a sandy beach break format and protected waters. The bay configuration provides natural wind acceleration and wave focusing depending on swell direction. Conditions are typically mild with small waves averaging 1.02m and light winds at 7.7 knots. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water or small-wave progression due to the bay's sheltered nature and manageable conditions. North winds (0°) provide ideal side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. The low wind reliability (10.7%) suggests this location experiences inconsistent thermal and pressure-driven winds, making session planning important. Water visibility and temperature at 20°C are moderate. Access is influenced by residential development, so local knowledge of public beach entries is valuable. The shallow bay waters require attention to underwater hazards and depth management.
