West Australian Surf

When you think about white beaches and great surf, you can't helping thinking about the magnificent Western Australian coastline! The Eucla to Esperance coastline is open to swell, but it is wild and there are no roads, towns or water, and there is little access unless you have a 4WD and have provisions for the desert and isolation. West from Esperance access to the surf is still limited to isolated small towns, each with their own breaks. Albany is located near the south west corner of West Australia and some of the largest waves to ever hit the Australian continent more than likely hit here.

North of Albany is the famous Margaret River area, a small day here is about 2.5 meters. If you want to try some of the best waves in the world, head down to the Margaret River region, where the Salomon Masters and Bico Classic events are held in epic surf conditions.

Margaret River to Perth is partially blocked from swell by offshore reefs, Green and Rottenest Island. Rottenest Island is a popular surf spot with locals and is often up to a 1 meter larger than most Perth's beaches. While in Perth you can experience the reef-breaks of Triggs, North Beach or Watermans, and the beach-breaks of Scarborough, City Beach or Cottesloe.

North of Perth waves can be found pretty much all along the coastline. Geraldton and Kalbarri have excellent waves and weather(also a great location for kite and wind surfing). From Kalbarri to North West Cape there are waves made famous in surf movies! Along here is a harsh rugged coast and a 4WD is essential. Local knowledge is also an important factor.
