Nanga Bay

Nanga Bay is a sheltered bay on Western Australia's coast, characterized by turquoise shallow waters and a wide sandy beach backed by sparse coastal vegetation. The bay faces west toward the Indian Ocean, providing natural protection while remaining accessible to oceanic swells. The sandy bottom with patches of rock makes it suitable for beginners, though shallow waters require caution during low tide. Wind reliability of 41% suggests inconsistent conditions, with an average of 11.2 knots indicating marginal power for consistent riding. The spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking calmer waters and easier launch/landing. The nearby residential area and various structures require awareness of local traffic patterns. The choppy water conditions are typical for this region and reflect exposure to prevailing south-westerly winds. Best wind direction is northerly (side-shore parallel to the bay), though south-easterly winds are also viable. This location offers a protected learning environment but requires patience with wind availability.
