Margaret River

Margaret River is Western Australia's undisputed wave capital—a stretch of rugged coastline where powerful Indian Ocean swells meet a minefield of world-class reef breaks. The main break offers everything from punchy walls to heavy barrels, while nearby The Box delivers one of Australia's most terrifying slabs. North Point adds a long, perfect left to the mix. The region is also renowned for great white shark activity, adding genuine menace to sessions. Cold, raw, and wild, Margs rewards surfers willing to venture beyond the Bali comfort zone.
