Mandalay Beach

Mandalay Beach is an exposed open-ocean beach break located on Australia's southwestern coast, facing westward toward the Indian Ocean. The spot features a wide sandy beach fronted by consistent ocean swell with powerful wave action visible in the satellite imagery. The surrounding terrain is characterized by dense forest backing the beach with rocky cliff formations and shallow reef structures visible in the water. Wind conditions show low reliability (8.3%), suggesting this location is affected by variable weather patterns typical of exposed southern coastlines. The average wave height of 2.86m with rough water conditions indicates moderate to strong swell presence. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore conditions. The spot suits intermediate to advanced kiters comfortable with powerful ocean conditions, rough water, and limited protected zones. Key considerations include the exposed nature requiring good equipment and recovery skills, potential hazard from rocky outcrops, and the need to time sessions during favorable wind windows given the low reliability statistics.
