Location Guide - Woodies East Beach - beach one
Excellent spot for those seeking flat water. Technically it is best suited to intermediate level kiters as the seabreeze can often be more onshore than cross-shore. But beginners are encouraged to use Beach 1 as it is, by far, the safest in this area.
Local Guidelines
Patchy, shallow, sometimes sharp reef depending on the tide.
Cobblers (stinging fish) in the weed.
A school operates at this beach throughout summer so it is often crowded. Experienced riders must be prepared to allow ground for learners & beginners - esp close inshore.
This is a very high risk area for thieves with regular car break-ins occuring year round. Please ensure that you do not leave any valuables in your car.
Water Condition
Protected flat water suited to freestyle and freeride kiting. At times there are 2 or 3 very small breaking sections a little offshore which can provide good intro conditions for waveriding.
Beach Condition
Sharp shells that can cut kites if you are careless.
Directions
Approx 28kms South West of the CBD in the suburb of Coogee.
Heading South from Fremantle along Cockburn Rd, just after the white lighthouse turn right into O’Kane Ct, then right again into Woodman Point View. There are three bays to kite in.
