Thermal south winds blow stronger than in Perth as you head up the Coral Coast. The main season runs from October to March with consistent winds of 20 to 30 knots. Kalbarri is surrounded by the spectacular national park with its gorges and the famous Nature's Window. Beware of powerful ocean conditions and reef.
