About This Spot
Rame Head is a beach break located on Australia's southwest coast, characterized by a north-northwest facing bay with moderate wave exposure to the Indian Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with rocky headlands flanking both sides, creating a natural amphitheater of sorts. The relatively low wind reliability (4.2%) and modest average wind speed (6.9 knots) suggest this location requires patient wind monitoring and possibly higher wind day selection. Average wave height of 2.44m indicates small to medium conditions typical of protected bays. The rough water type and visible current patterns suggest variable conditions throughout the session. Best conditions occur with northeasterly to easterly winds providing side-shore angles. The forested hinterland and rocky terrain offer limited landing space, making precision important. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with reading variable wind and current conditions. The exposure to open ocean swell and the presence of multiple hazards require awareness and conservative approach selection, particularly during stronger wind events.
Hazards & Safety
Rocky outcrops and headlands visible on both sides of the bay
Strong currents indicated by water color patterns and coastal geography
Shallow water near beach entry zone
Forested terrain limiting landing zones
Exposed open ocean fetch creating unpredictable wave patterns
