About This Spot
Wedge Island is a remote beach break located on Western Australia's coast, facing northeast toward open ocean. The spot features a curved sandy beach bordered by dense native forest, with visible rock formations both on and offshore. The dramatic turquoise water coloration indicates strong tidal currents and varying water depths characteristic of this exposed coastline. Wave conditions average 2.43m with rough water typical of ocean-facing beaches. Wind reliability is relatively low at 25.5%, requiring patience for suitable sessions. Best conditions occur with northwest to north winds providing side-shore conditions. The spot suits intermediate to advanced kiters comfortable with strong currents and rocky hazards. The isolated nature demands self-sufficiency and local knowledge. Water temperature averages 19.6°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Access appears limited by surrounding bushland, and the exposed location means conditions can deteriorate quickly. Kiters should monitor tide timing and avoid sessions during peak tidal flow when currents intensify significantly.
