Safety Bay

Safety Bay is a protected bay located south of Perth, Western Australia, characterized by shallow turquoise waters and a wide sandy beach. The bay opens to the southwest toward the Indian Ocean, with a natural sandbar formation creating an enclosed lagoon area in the center. This spot is sheltered from large ocean swells, making it suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters. The shallow lagoon provides confidence-building conditions with manageable wave heights around 1.6m average. The northeastern wind direction (45°) provides reliable side-shore conditions for the bay's orientation. Water temperatures average 19°C year-round. The spot experiences low wind reliability (15.7%), suggesting inconsistent thermal and weather-driven winds typical of protected Australian bays. Best suited for learners seeking flat-water or small-wave practice. Kiters should monitor tidal changes affecting water depth and be aware of the proximity to residential areas. The rocky outcrops visible on the western side require careful positioning to avoid.
