Radio Tower

Radio Tower is a protected lagoon system on Australia's northwestern coast, characterized by shallow, enclosed waters separated from the open ocean by a narrow channel with sandbank formations. The spot features mangrove-lined shores and a complex bathymetry with visible sand shoals and vegetated areas. Water conditions are rough relative to the lagoon's protected status, suggesting strong tidal flows and channel effects. The northwest-facing coastline receives side-shore winds from the northeast or southwest, with northeast winds (45°) being optimal for safe kitesurfing given the prevailing wind patterns. The enclosed lagoon environment provides some protection from ocean swell but creates variable wind conditions. This spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with shallow-water techniques and tidal considerations. Key concerns include navigating shallow areas, respecting mangrove boundaries, managing unpredictable currents through the channel entrance, and timing sessions around tidal movements. The 58.9% wind reliability and moderate average conditions suggest seasonal or regular wind patterns rather than consistent daily winds.
