Margaret River & Australia's South West

LEFT & RIGHT HAND REEF BREAK

Unlike mechanical reef waves, Main Break feels alive and constantly shifting, with bumps, steps, and changing sections that force surfers to adapt at high speed. On serious swell, it becomes one of Australia’s premier big-wave arenas.

LEFT POINT BREAK

A long, flowing left with drawn-out walls — room to link turns and find your rhythm down the line. The wave has a softer, more flowing shape than nearby reefs, making it ideal for linking turns and finding rhythm across long sections

RIGHT POINT BREAK

One of WA's heaviest, most respected reefs: steep drops and cavernous barrels when the swell builds. On smaller days it offers long carvable walls, but when the swell builds, North Point turns into a raw slab where positioning and commitment are everything.

LEFT HAND REEF BREAK

Three Bears is a series of reef peaks that produce playful but high-quality walls with a mix of speed, flow, and punch depending on the bank and swell direction. The waves stand up cleanly over reef and often offer multiple workable sections, making it a wave that rewards creativity and continuous movement rather than survival surfing.

REEF BREAK

Accessed off Bunker Bay Road, The Farm is a reef break that rewards local knowledge of wind and swell, a punchy, workable wave when it lines up, without the crowds of the more famous breaks along this coast. It's the kind of spot that quietly delivers for those who know when to check it.

REEF BREAK

Tucked along the stretch between Dunsborough and the cape, PQ is a workable reef break that fires on the right swell direction without the intensity of the more exposed points nearby. It's a solid, unassuming option, less about spectacle, more about clean, uncrowded fun.

REEF BREAK

Sitting near The Farm along the same stretch of coast, Boneyards is a workable reef break for those who know the area well, less consistent than the marquee spots further south, but capable of producing a genuine wave on the right swell and tide. A local's option rather than a headline destination.

REEF BREAK

One of the accessible reef breaks between Dunsborough and Cape Naturaliste, Castle Rock offers an alternative when the more exposed points are too heavy or out of season. It's a dependable, low-key option rather than a standout, best suited to those exploring the full stretch of this coastline.

RIGHT-HAND REEF BREAK

A genuine standout of the region, Yallingup Main Break peels down the reef with real power and shape, drawing surfers from across the South West when it's on. It can hold size, reward positioning, and deliver some of the most complete rides on this stretch of coast.

BEACH BREAK

One of the most consistent beach breaks in the region, Smiths offers rippable, user-friendly waves that hold up across a wide range of swell and tide. It's a reliable go-to when the reefs are too heavy or out of season, and a great spot to log real time in the water.

REEF BREAK

Sitting at the northern end of Smiths Beach, Supertubes is the punchier, more hollow counterpart to its neighbour — a wave that rewards positioning and timing over the more forgiving shape found along the main beach. When it lines up, it delivers genuine barrel sections.

REEF BREAK

Marking the northern edge of the Yallingup surf zone, Rabbit Hill is a lesser-known reef break that picks up swell before it reaches the more famous spots further along. A good option for spreading out from the crowds without straying far from the main action.

REEF BREAK

Sitting at the southern end of the Injidup stretch, Carparks is easily accessed and offers a solid, workable wave without the intensity of some of its neighbours. A practical, dependable choice when convenience matters as much as the surf itself.

REEF BREAK

The standout of the Injidup stretch, The Point is a quality reef break known for its clean lines and reliable shape when the swell direction cooperates. It's a genuine drawcard along this part of the coast, sitting just north of Cape Clairault.

REEF BREAK

Marking the southern limit of the Injidup surf zone, Pea Break is a smaller, more approachable wave than its heavier neighbours further north, a good option on days when the main breaks are running too strong.

REEF BREAK

Sitting inside Cowaramup Bay alongside North and South Point, Huzzas is the playful middle ground between its more serious neighbours, punchy, forgiving, and fun rather than heavy. A good option when the main points are working but you want something a little friendlier.

REEF BREAK

Found south of the main Cowaramup Bay cluster, Lefthanders is a quality, more serious wave that attracts a committed crowd when conditions align. It carries a reputation among locals as one of the more demanding options along this stretch.

REEF BREAK

Reached by heading south from Gracetown, Cobblestones is a quieter alternative to the main bay breaks, less crowded, and rewarding for those willing to make the extra trip to find it.

REEF BREAK

Sitting near Cobblestones south of Gracetown, Big Rock offers another option away from the main cluster of breaks, favoured by those looking to escape the crowds at North and South Point.

OFFSHORE REEF BREAK

Located roughly two kilometres offshore from Gracetown, Cow Bombie is a serious, heavy-water wave reserved for experienced big-wave surfers — not a spot for casual sessions, but a genuine landmark of the region's more extreme surf.

REEF BREAK

Sitting just south of Main Break, Southside offers an alternative angle on the same stretch of coast, picking up swell slightly differently to its neighbour and giving surfers another option when the rivermouth is crowded.

REEF BREAK

Positioned north of the main Prevelly cluster, The Box is known among locals as one of the heavier, more technical waves in the area, a spot that demands respect rather than casual interest.

REEF BREAK

A practical, accessible break near the boat ramp facilities south of Main Break, offering a workable wave without needing the longer walks some of the area's other spots require.

REEF BREAK

Sitting near Boat Ramps along the Prevelly stretch, Bombies is a solid, dependable option that fills in the gaps when the more famous breaks nearby aren't cooperating.

REEF BREAK

Found further along the Prevelly coastline, Grunters is a lesser-known reef break that rewards those willing to explore beyond the main rivermouth cluster.

REEF BREAK

One of the more remote options south of Prevelly, Gas Bay offers a genuine sense of solitude for surfers willing to make the trip away from the busier spots closer to town.

BEACH BREAK

Sitting between the Prevelly breaks and Redgate further south, Boodjidup offers a beach break option along a stretch of coast otherwise dominated by reefs, a good change of pace depending on conditions.

BEACH BREAK

Redgate is a powerful, no-frills beach break south of Margaret River, known for punchy shorebreak peaks that can pack a real punch on the right day. It's a favourite with locals for exactly that reason, consistent, uncrowded, and unpretentious.

BEACH BREAK

Further south again, Contos is a remote, exposed beach break known for its raw, unfiltered character, less about convenience, more about the isolation and rugged coastline that surrounds it.

BEACH BREAK

Backed by the towering karri trees of Boranup Forest, this is one of the wilder, more remote beach breaks south of Margaret River, powerful, exposed, and rarely crowded. It's less about convenience and more about the raw, isolated feel of surfing somewhere genuinely off the beaten track.

PROTECTED BAY

Eagle Bay is the gentle, sheltered counterpart to the exposed points further south, a curved, turquoise bay tucked in from the swell. On the right conditions it throws up a mellow, forgiving beach break, making it a good spot to ease into a session or let less experienced surfers in the group find their feet.
