Built for progression

Coached, filmed and pushed further

The coast

Nine of the best, from the Cape to Prevelly

Over 30 breaks within reach of the house, from playful points to some of WA's heaviest reefs. Each day your guide picks the break that suits the swell and the group.

  • Margaret River Main Break
    Left and right reef break

    Margaret River Main Break ‘Margies’

    Surfers Point · Prevelly

    Alive and always shifting, with bumps, steps and changing sections that make you adapt at speed. On a big swell, one of Australia's premier big-wave arenas.

  • North PointAdvanced
    Right point break

    North Point

    Gracetown · Cowaramup Bay

    One of WA's heaviest, most respected reefs. Long, carvable walls on smaller days, and steep drops and barrels when the swell builds.

  • South Point
    Left point break

    South Point

    Gracetown · Cowaramup Bay

    A long, flowing left with drawn-out walls. Room to link turns and find your rhythm down the line.

  • Three Bears
    Left-hand reef break

    Three Bears ‘Baby, Mama & Papa’

    Cape Naturaliste · Dunsborough

    A run of reef peaks with clean, high-quality walls and several workable sections. It rewards creative surfing, not survival surfing.

  • Yallingup Main Break
    Right-hand reef break

    Yallingup Main Break ‘Yalls’

    Yallingup

    A standout of the region. It peels down the reef with real power and shape, holds size and rewards good positioning.

  • Supertubes
    Reef break

    Supertubes

    Smiths Beach · Yallingup

    The hollow end of Smiths Beach. It rewards positioning and timing, and delivers real barrel sections when it lines up.

  • Injidup Point
    Reef break

    Injidup Point ‘The Point’

    Injidup · Yallingup

    The standout of the Injidup stretch, known for clean lines and reliable shape when the swell direction is right.

  • LefthandersAdvanced
    Reef break

    Lefthanders ‘Lefties’

    South of Gracetown

    A quality, more serious wave that draws a committed crowd when it lines up. Locals rate it among the most demanding on this stretch.

  • The BoxAdvanced
    Reef break

    The Box

    Prevelly · Margaret River

    One of the heavier, more technical waves in the area. A spot that demands respect.

Questions

Before you enquire

Is my surfing good enough?

You should be comfortable in the ocean and able to paddle and catch your own waves. The trip is for intermediate and advanced surfers, and your guide matches the breaks to the group and the forecast. If you're unsure, tell us about your surfing and we'll give you an honest assessment.

What boards should I bring?

Two if you can: your everyday board plus one for smaller or bigger days than usual. Quality hire boards are available if you'd rather travel light, and we'll send an equipment guide once you've booked.

Can I come on my own?

Definitely. Plenty of guests travel solo. With a group of up to 10 sharing sessions, meals and film nights, you won't be on your own for long.

How do I get there?

Fly into Perth. Transfers from Perth Airport to the house are included within the set arrival and departure windows. Flights aren't included, but Salt Atlas can help you book through ATOL-protected partners.

Which month should I pick?

Autumn (March to May) is the premier season, with offshore easterlies and consistent swell. Winter brings the biggest, most powerful surf, spring has clean, moderate waves, and summer is smaller but still has plenty of swell magnets. This year's confirmed trips leave on 20 October, 19 November and 13 December. For 2027, tell us the month you'd like.

What add-ons can I book?

ExploreDolphin and whale watching charter, Busselton Underwater Observatory, Ngilgi Cave and Ancient Lands experience, Margaret River food and wine experience, Lake Cave guided experience, abseiling or rock climbing at Wilyabrup Cliffs, jet ski tour, mountain biking on the Cape to Cape MTB trail, kayaking or SUP, sailing or a private boat charter, skydiving, fishing charter, Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, a Rottnest Island micro-expedition (with bike hire and a quokka encounter), scuba diving or snorkelling, orca expedition or charter, high ropes adventure course, and the Margaret River Wildfood canoe tour.

SurfSurfboard and wetsuit hire; surf lessons with qualified instructors (1.5 hours in the water plus a half-hour briefing and setup, board and wetsuit included).

WellnessFunctional fitness classes at FITSTOP; yoga, breathwork and mobility; ice bath and sauna.

Add-ons depend on the season, the weather and minimum numbers. Let us know before you travel if you'd like to add one, and your host can help arrange it before or during the trip.

Do I need a visa or insurance?

Travel insurance is required. Visa requirements depend on your nationality, and arranging one is your responsibility.
