This is one of the premiere regions in the world for surfing. Ranging from big wave locations to small wave fun. There are plenty of strong reef breaks and hearty sandbanks to wet ones appetite.
Seasonal swell & wind variations:
During the summer months the swell direction is mainly from the South to South West. However, in the winter months the swell comes from a more westerly direction, sometimes even northwest. Remember this is the southern Hemisphere.On any wind, bar directly north, and with a good swell there are waves to be had somewhere!

bottom line - i spent about 3 months in the marg river zone and loved it. the bottom line is, the waves there could be some of the most consistent on earth and the number of spots is mind blowing. it can be windy, but if you have a good vehicle and some gumption you can find spots all to yourself with a great variety of setups. take a bigger board for sure, and be ready to charge. on top of that, the chicks are some of the easiest in the world! they talk with funny accents and cant wait to get rooted by visiting surfer guys. put a little piss in em, and they become regular barnyard animals! on top of that, the aussie guys are prety much softcocks and not much in terms of competition. love the waves down there,, the chicks rule, and the blokes are soft, in and out of the water

This Place Rocks! - I've surfed Pt Piquet, Injidup Beach, Smiths, Nachos, A-Frames and Meelup and the most quality would have to be Nachos and Pt Piquet!

MR vs Sydney 1770 - The only stretch of Australian coast that compares to the Cape to Cape is Sydney PB to Cronula and on to Wollongong. But MR doesn't have 4 million people. We surf epic waves with 5-10 others out regularly. MR mainbreak aint what it used to be, true. 20 in the lineup is a bummer at double overhead. But you earn your stripes. It's a heavy heavy wave at size and the margin between glory and damnation is very thin. It's the pinacle of surfing. Some days you nail it, other days you would have been better off takin a camera out with you and sittin in the channel. But those days you nail it ....
