The Ledge

The Ledge is an exposed beach break on Australia's northwestern coast facing westward into the Indian Ocean. The spot features a defined sand beach with rocky headlands and reef formations visible along the margin. Water conditions are rough with average waves of 2.35m and consistent swell exposure from the open ocean fetch. The site experiences variable wind reliability at 57.3% with an average of 12.8 knots, suggesting seasonal wind patterns typical of this tropical region. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The presence of rocky outcrops and shallow reef zones near shore requires careful navigation. This intermediate-level spot suits kiters with experience reading reef hazards and managing stronger currents. The limited protected launch area and rough water conditions demand respect for local conditions. Access appears to include a small settlement with basic facilities. Tide and swell direction are critical variables for safe sessions.
