the wedge - to the left of main in beetween the boulders and the headland is the wedge wich peaks and barrels like a reef its not very often this happens so do your study when you want to go

boulders - i would suggest you take off about 5 metres from the boulders the you should drop into a peaked barrel it's very good in big swells i like the spot yet the boulders reef break barrels thrice as better

south west rocks spots - the best places in swr to surf,bodyboard are known to beboulders(the grinders)-beware of sharks but this sick right break is a long big barrel good as the pros waves.the wedge(boulders)-this is a two section wave break it has a short perfect barreling reef break it is sooo sick and the second is the peak of it.This peak is a really good left break. It barrels alright on good days,but is mostly good practice, great for doing tricks!stingray jump off(stingray rock)-this is one of the best point breaks in swr it is a right break goes for around 100m of mad barrel but it is soooo deadly if you wipe out you will find yourself covered in cuts and blood because when you go down your ussually only 15 metres away from the point!ps:beware of the slowing down wave if it slows you get away from the barrel unless you are really experienced!!!horseshoe(horseshoe bay)-this is usually a star spot with left and right break it barrels,or just breaks perfectly,great for doin tricks on and hardly ever closes out.back beach-back beach is a good right and left break that ussually meets but this wave provides a good long ride. it barrels good but when you get to close to the little breakwall you will see the sickest break ever it is so pro it's like 4 foot on a bad day and gets up to 8 foot on a good one. BUT NEVER GO OUT THERE THERE IS SOO MANY TIGER SHARKS T IS BASICLY SUISIDE!!!......unless you have thos shark repellend thingy that was shown on the new inventors!
