Spot currently openIntermediate level -31.9 | 115.76

Overview

Brighton Road is a kitesurf spot located in the northern suburbs of Perth, in Western Australia. This spot offers access to the Indian Ocean with the typical conditions of the Perth coast. The prevailing south to southwest winds, the "Fremantle Doctor," blow sideshore on this west-facing coast. Summer thermal breezes are very reliable and regular, offering near-daily sessions from December to March. The water is oceanic with moderate chop. Parking is available along Brighton Road. The spot benefits from the proximity of Perth's shops and services. Watch out for reefs and rocky areas.
