West White Beach

West White Beach on Christmas Island is a beach break facing northwest into the Indian Ocean, with deep water extending offshore. The spot features a narrow strip of sand backed by dense tropical forest, with visible rocky and reef formations along the waterline. Water conditions are rough with average 1.93m waves, typical of exposed oceanic exposure. Wind reliability of 46.2% indicates inconsistent thermal patterns. Best conditions occur with northeast winds (45°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The forest canopy creates wind shadow effects and limits consistent wind delivery. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with reef awareness and variable conditions. Key considerations include timing around tide cycles, understanding the shallow reef zone immediately offshore, and the challenge of accessing clear wind through forest obstruction. Average temperatures of 27°C remain consistent year-round. The spot requires local knowledge of safe entry/exit points and reef topography.
