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 Fremantle

Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 20°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 SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.3 km out (1 in 125). The sea is about 19°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 22°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For kitesurfing at beginner level the best months are usually July, August and December, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Fremantle. Within 5 km we also list 11 surf spots, 1 wind sports spot and 1 dive site.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
