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 Albany
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces S, so wind from the N blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 18°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 S. Wind from the S blows onshore, wind from the N blows out to sea, and wind from the W or E runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 550 m out (1 in 53). The sea is about 18°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 21°C in April, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For kitesurfing at intermediate level the best months are usually July, August, September and October, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Albany. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
