Local Waters Forecast Area: Melville Waters


Lucky Bay is located on the south side of the Swan river.

It is a great place for people who want to learn how to windsurf.

There is a limited kite launching area at the northern end of the beach but be careful, there have been many kites in trees there.

A good place for Wing foiling as well.

The Summer Sea breeze (South-Westerly) blows across the bay side ways and the water depth starts shallow and goes to about six feet, 400 meters out, before going to one foot deep over the sand bar.

This makes it great for learning to windsurf and for intermediates to learn waterstarts.

It is also a great for slalom spot.

It is very safe and you would only hurt yourself if you get the depth of the sandbar wrong!

Lucky Bay works on a Northerly through Westerly and around to the south west (Prevailing Seabreeze).

There is plenty of grass to rig up on and good for sailing after work.

Be there early on the weekends as it tends to get a bit busy.
