Shark bay is the perfect destination before/after the peak season in Perth; Heaps of small lagoons, butter flat, and wind super consistent. A lot of chance to be alone in the water. Once your session is done, head to the cliff south of Denham, where you can see small reef sharks. Be careful of the stone fish! No wind, go for a fishing trip, or snorkelling, or just relax at monkey Mia with the dolphins, Emus and Kangaroos.

Lancelin is a small crayfish village, 2hours drive from Perth CBD, with awesome conditions for flat water and waves. The swell can be massive, and thats the reason The Ocean Classic (windsurfing contest) takes place here every year. There are 2 options : One spot , "Lancelin Beach" with flat water close to the beach (for intermediate/advanced riders) or if you ride a little bit further North West, there are some waves that break on the reef. You can park on the beach if you have a 4 Wheel Drive. No wind, get a sand board and go ride the massive dunes, 5minutes drive from the beach.
Please don't kite at "Back Beach"

There are 3 Beaches here. Don't go to the beach N°1 with all the schools because of the on-shore wind. Beach N°2 is a choppy wave spot. The third beach has super flat water with off-shore winds for advanced riders. The water has an amazing blue colour. Welcome to Woodies.

Flat water and Small waves/Chop spot
Flat water in The Pond and small waves over at the beginner area on the Sandbar. This spot is for beginners, intermediate and advanced riders. You may see some small rays and some dolphins. The seabreeze is very constant, 25 knots between 4pm and 6pm pretty much every day. The best is to come at 10am before the seabreeze picks up and catch some blue crabs in the pond. Then you can enjoy the free barbecue close to the spot before riding.
