Launch notes

Flat water conditions make launching straightforward in cross-shore winds (E, W, WSW). Eastern and westerly winds are most reliable; launch from sandy areas when available and check wind strength before entry as average speeds are modest.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Pack a 14-17m kite for the light average winds (11.2 kts); consider bringing a 12m backup for lighter days. A directional or twin-tip board works well in flat water; avoid wave boards as conditions are unsuitable.

Clothing · A 3-2mm wetsuit suits most seasons in Western Australia; thinner suits work in summer (Feb-Mar) and warmer months. Sun protection and rash guards are essential year-round due to intense UV exposure.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users in the bay and maintain clear communication with fellow kiters in light wind conditions. Follow local beach access rules and be courteous to swimmers during peak seasons.

Additional notes

August and September offer the most consistent winds; November-March is warmer but more variable. Visit during midweek for fewer crowds on this beginner-friendly bay spot.
