About This Spot
Main Beach is located on Western Australia's southern coast within a sheltered bay system. The spot faces west toward the Indian Ocean with a relatively narrow beach break backed by residential and light industrial development. The presence of constructed lagoon systems and treatment facilities indicates human modification of the natural shoreline. Best wind conditions arrive from the north (0°), providing side-shore winds parallel to the coast. The bay's protected nature results in modest wave heights (1.74m average) with low wind reliability (13.4%), making it most suitable for beginner and early-intermediate riders seeking sheltered, forgiving conditions. The spot experiences rough water conditions despite moderate fetch, likely due to shallow areas and basin effects. Kiters should be aware of industrial operations nearby, variable bottom topography, and the need for calm weather windows. The area appears to serve local recreational use rather than destination kitesurfing. Access appears straightforward from the populated southern zone.
