About This Spot
Sunsets is a beach break located on the western coast of Australia near Perth, facing west toward the Indian Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with direct ocean exposure and consistent residential development immediately inland. The narrow beach zone between town and water limits riding area. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (side-shore), which provide ideal kiting angles parallel to the coast. The spot suits beginners and recreational kiters due to manageable wave heights averaging 1.95m and generally forgiving conditions. However, the low wind reliability (25.9%) means sessions are inconsistent throughout the year. Water temperatures are mild year-round at 20.6°C. Kiters should be aware of potential swimmer activity from nearby residential areas, particularly during weekends and summer months. The rough water conditions suggest choppy surface state rather than clean swells. This location works best as a casual local spot rather than a destination for serious progression.
