Bunker Bay

Bunker Bay is a north-facing, sandy bay with crystal-clear water and plenty of beach space to set up. It’s commonly associated with higher-energy surf breaks in the bay area, and the overall coastline setup is described as exposed, with rocky outcrops at the eastern and western ends that riders should account for during launches and landings. For wind sports, the most consistently reported wind directions are west through northwest (W, WNW, NW). Kitesurfers especially favor this sector, and reported typical wind speeds for the bay are roughly 15–25 knots with moderate gustiness and moderate reliability. Recommended kite sizes are commonly given in the 8–12 m² range, and the spot is aimed at intermediate riders. For surfing, the bay is described as capable of producing moderate wave power and generally peeling wave shapes, including left-hand wave options. Sources note that conditions can vary with tide (mid tide highlighted as optimal), and that waves can hold up on bigger swell but may become heavy. The main swell working window is reported as about 1.0–2.5 meters from the northwest through west-southwest directions, with ride lengths often described in the ~50–100 meter range. Safety-wise, hazards mentioned for the spot include rocks and sharks, and there’s no dedicated on-water rescue reported. NW-driven fronts can bring rain and squally conditions, while southerly winds are described as offshore for this location—particularly important for kitesurfing, where southerlies are not recommended unless you have boat support. Emergency services are available via 000, and the nearest hospital is in Busselton.
