Ledge Point

Ledge Point is an exposed reef location in the Perth region that delivers relatively consistent reef-break surf, with riders reporting both left- and right-hand wave directions depending on conditions. The break is generally considered advanced-level due to reef bottom hazards and the open coastline exposure. Safety is a key issue: sharks have been reported as a hazard, and the water is also affected by rocks/submerged reef features—especially at low tide. There are no lifeguard services on the beach, and rescue is described as limited, so sessions require strong self-management and risk planning. Local guidance emphasizes riding with a partner and avoiding dawn or dusk when shark activity is a known concern. For wind sports, the area is influenced by a reliable summer sea-breeze cycle (described as consistent afternoon sea-breeze winds). Typical on-water wind conditions are reported in the 15–25 knot range, with afternoon winds building through late morning to early evening. These conditions support kitesurfing freestyle and wave riding on the reef side, plus windsurfing across slalom and wave styles. In terms of seasonal timing, May is highlighted for surfing consistency, while wind sports are strongest in late spring through summer. Water temperature is generally mild to warm in the main wind season, and a wetsuit is commonly recommended year-round (steamer to 3/2 mm, with colder months potentially requiring thicker gear).
