South Australia – West Cape Road (Goblet Bay)

Welcome to the edge — West Cape Road, deep in Innes National Park, where the cliffs stare down the Southern Ocean and the wind doesn’t ask permission. This is not your laid-back foil spot. This is raw coast, sharp light, and energy straight from Antarctica.

The beach here drops fast — steep gradient, deep water close in, and proper swell wrapping through. Perfect for wave junkies who like their kiting with a side of consequence. SE to SW is the juice, with summer thermals funneling hard and clean along the line. You’ll get wind. You’ll get waves. You won’t get help — so don’t come unprepared.

The launch? It’s a short sandy walk from the carpark, lighthouse looming behind you, ocean roaring in front. No rigging zones, no creature comforts, just salt, wind, and space.

For confident riders only — and one of the most powerful sessions you’ll score in South Oz if the conditions align. Wild, remote, unforgettable.
