Gas Bay

Margaret River, Australia
👥Crowded🌀Strong rips🦈Sharks

Gas Bay is a quality right-hand reef break just south of Margaret River main break that delivers hollow, workable walls when the swell is right. It picks up more swell than many nearby breaks and is surprisingly consistent even in summer months—surf-forecast lists February as the best month for clean waves here. The reef creates a defined takeoff zone and the wave runs along a shallow ledge, offering barrel sections on bigger days.
