Windmills surf guide

Windmills is a surf spot located off Cape Naturaliste Road, known for its laid-back vibe. The area features a series of sandy reef peaks that attract surfers looking for a fun session. While it can get crowded when the conditions are right, it's still a go-to place, especially during the summer months. Just keep in mind that it requires a bit of a walk from the parking lots near the dirt roads.

The peak at Windmills is best suited for small swells, typically working well when the swell sizes are around 2ft (0.6m). The optimal swell direction is from the west, but it can also handle swells from the south and northwest. You'll find both left and right waves, which break over uneven reef and sand. The best wind direction is from the east, and going out at mid tide can give you the best ride, making it a good spot for beginners to practice their skills.

Besides its surf potential, Windmills is surrounded by a nice natural environment, which adds to the overall experience. Just remember, it tends to draw a good crowd, especially on decent days, so plan your visits accordingly if you're looking for some quieter water. Enjoy your time out there!
