🧭 Wind Compass

SW : This sea breeze wind direction is ideal for kitesurfing at this location. Sea breezes will blow predominantly in the afternoons from Mid-August through March.

WSW : Although not very common, this wind direction would work great for this location.

SSW : This very common summer wind direction will work at this location but will be slightly off-shore and very gusty at launch due to the wind passing over the land.

W, WNW, NW, NNW, N, NNE, NE: these wind directions are unusual but could work for this location

S, SSE, SE, ESE, E, ENE: These wind directions will be off-shore at this location and must be avoided by all kitesurfers.

⚠️ Dangers and Restrictions

- Wind shadows and possible side-off shore winds (S & SSW winds)

- Advanced wave riding spot: observe the wave-riding right of way rules

- Shallow reef and rocks both on the beach and in the water

- Must be avoided by beginner kitesurfers

🅿️ Access and Parking

Graveyards is situated 15KM South-West of the Ningaloo Lighthouse Holiday Park and 3.5KM North-East of the turn-out for the Yardie Homestead Caravan Park

The short dirt road leading to the spot can be accessed with any 2WD vehicle. There is no signage from the road so the turn-out can be very easy to miss.

The easiest way to find it is to drive North-East from the Yardie Homestead turn-out (towards Exmouth's town centre) and look for the 3rd dirt road turn-out on your LEFT (approx. 3.5km)

👍 Pros

- Excellent wave riding location

- Not unusual to spot turtles and dolphins

👎 Cons

- Wind shadows on the beach and close to shore

- Shallow reef and rocks
