LANCELIN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Lancelin is located one hour’s drive or 94km north of
Perth along Indian Ocean Drive. The town stretches
along Lancelin Bay which is protected from the Indian
Ocean by a system of reefs and islands.
The protected waters are ideal for swimming, fishing,
boating and other water -based activities. It also
provides safe anchorage for fleets of cray fishing
boats. Lancelin is an internationally recognised and
popular destination for windsurfers due to the ideal
wind and water conditions. The annual Lancelin
Ocean Classic is an iconic international windsurfing
event attracting over 300 competitors from
Australasia, South East Asia, the Americas
and Europe.
To the east of the town is an extensive white sand
dune system which is a significant attraction for sand
boarders, dune buggies, off road vehicles and four
wheel drive leisure activities.
Lancelin has a Mediterranean climate, and is just
slightly warmer than Perth with similar rainfall. It
is hot in summer (December to February) with an
average maximum temperature of 35°C and an
average minimum temperature of 19°C. In winter
(June to August), the average maximum temperature
is 20°C with an average minimum temperature of
8°C. Annual rainfall for the Gingin and Lancelin areas
is 763 millimetres and 621 millimetres respectively,
the majority of which is recorded between April and
October.
Lancelin is a year-round tourist destination, with high
visitation during the summer months due to its fresh
winds, sought by wind and kite surfers. In the winter
the Indian Ocean swell attracts large numbers of
surfers, and off road activities are also popular in the
cooler weather.
Lancelin is an internationally recognised and popular destination for windsurfers due to the ideal wind and water conditions.
