Safety Bay, Rockingham: why it’s the best place to learn Windsurfing

There is a reason for the name. The on-shore conditions together with the sand spit create simply the best teaching and learning conditions possible. The sand spit extends perpendicularly out from the beach for 500 metres.
The bay is perfect for learning because the safety of on-shore winds means no one’s getting blown out to sea. You can also walk up the spit to get further up wind as you’re learning.
In the Windsurfing zone, the sand bar drops off quite quickly. This is especially useful to those Windsurfers learning to carve or water start just metres from our instructors. Penguin Island and Warnboro Sound challenge the more advanced sailors with long exhilarating runs over short steep chop and open ocean swell.
A strong thermal sea breeze often referred to as the "Fremantle Doctor" arrives most afternoons during the summer months. Best sailing is from October to March with wind speeds normally around 15 to 25 knots. When the wind doesn't turn up there are many other attractions to suit the visitor. These include Stand Up Paddle surfing, diving, sailing, recreational boat and jetty fishing, vast stretches of white sandy beaches, swimming with wild dolphins and visiting sea lions and penguins on the nearby islands.
Safety Bay is a great place to commence your Western Australian Windsurfing experience before you safari off to Lancelin, Wedge Island, Geraldton, Shark Bay, Margaret River and other internationally well-known locations.
