About This Spot
Malimup Beach is a west-facing beach break on Western Australia's southern coast, characterized by consistent ocean swell exposure and a narrow sand beach bordered by dense forest. The coastline orientation toward the west provides direct exposure to Southern Ocean swells, generating average waves of 2.49m. Rocky reef formations visible in the aerial imagery create both structural features and navigational hazards. The spot experiences relatively low wind reliability (12.7%), with an average of 8 knots, suggesting conditions are inconsistent throughout the year. Northerly winds provide optimal side-shore conditions for safe kitesurfing. The presence of visible rocks and shallow transitional zones requires intermediate skill for safe navigation and launch/landing. The exposed location and rough water conditions indicate this is not a beginner-friendly venue. Kiters should be comfortable managing wave impact and understanding local current patterns. Best sessions likely occur during winter months when Southern Hemisphere wind patterns are more favorable.
