About This Spot
This sheltered bay on Western Australia's southwest coast features a protected crescent beach flanked by rocky headlands and dense forest. The bay orientation (facing northwest) provides natural protection from prevailing ocean swells while allowing access to side-shore winds. The spot combines sandy beach areas with adjacent rocky formations and a river outlet that influences water movement and conditions. Average wind conditions of 7.9 knots suggest light to moderate session potential, though wind reliability at 11.5% indicates this is a location requiring patience and selective session timing. Wave heights average 2.73m with rough water conditions typical of exposed coastal bays. The spot suits intermediate kiters who can navigate around rock hazards and understand variable current patterns from the river system. Residential areas to the south indicate potential constraints on session timing and local regulations. Best conditions occur during northeasterly to easterly winds providing side-shore angles. Kiters should scout entry and exit points carefully and respect the complex bathymetry created by rocky outcropping.
