Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Perth Dunsborough
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.6 km out (1 in 156). The sea is about 17°C in August, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 21°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For windsurfing at expert level the best months are usually June, July and August, with about 2 good days in 7; in January, November and December, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Dunsborough. Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
