Pelican Point

Pelican Point is a protected bay in Perth, Western Australia, offering relatively sheltered kitesurfing conditions. The bay faces northwest into open water, with a developed coastline featuring residential areas, commercial zones, and marina facilities along the eastern headland. The spot is characterized by calm, protected waters suitable for beginners and light-wind sessions. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore coverage parallel to the coast. The average wind speed of 7.7 knots with low reliability (10.7%) indicates this is primarily a light-wind destination. Wave heights averaging 1.04m suggest flat to very small wave conditions, making this more suitable for freestyle and light sessions rather than wave riding. Multiple hazards including moored boats, shallow zones, and marina infrastructure require careful route planning. Launch areas are limited by development. This spot suits beginners seeking protected conditions and light-wind practice, though consistent wind is not guaranteed. Water temperature averaging 19.9°C is mild and may require rashguards.
