The consistent wind and swells of Western Australia are a favourite for wind surfers who take to the waves in spectacular form.

 

Windsurfing at Lancelin
Lancelin

With long stretches of flat water and several reef breaks, Lancelin is able to challenge the most experienced wavesailors and nurture the novices. Home to the legendary Lancelin Ocean Classic.


Geraldton

Geraldton is one of the windiest places on the West Australian coast and offers excellent windsurfing for all levels. Try Coronation Beach for awesome jumping conditions and easy wave riding from October to March.

 


Esperance

The long white beaches, enormous bays and numerous islands make this rugged coastline the perfect place to sail for all levels.

 


Green Head/Leeman

Advanced wavesailors will love the conditions on offer, with some of the strongest summer winds in the State.

 


Windsurfing at Margaret RiverMargaret River

This spot is for the crème de la crème of wavesailors - the main break is a solid, left-hand wave that powers across the reef, with the swell often mast high or more. World Wavesailing Champion Scott McKercher calls this town home.

 


Cervantes

Two hours north of Perth you'll find some of the best smooth-water windsurfing conditions in Western Australia.

 


Perth

There's plenty of windsurfing action to be found close to the city. Cottesloe and Scarborough are home to glistening foreshores complete with stellar wavesailing conditions. South of Perth, Safety Bay and Avalon beaches are ideal spots for intermediate wavesailors.

 

Gnaraloo

Gnaraloo is a mecca for experienced wavesailors. You can experience some of the longest wave rides on the WA coast here. Seabreezes occur from October through until March. Be aware though, it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted with large waves, strong currents and sharp coral.


Windsurfing at Ningaloo ReefWorld Heritage Listed Ningaloo Reef

This 260 kilometre magnificent coral coastline offers exceptional windsurfing conditions for advanced wavesailors.

 


Swan River

Perth's gleaming Swan River is close enough to the coast to benefit from our regular sea breezes, making it perfect for flatwater sailing. There's enough strong wind to satisfy intermediate sailors, while the shallow waters are ideal for novices.
