Surfers Point
Surfers Point is a quality left-hander at Prevelly that sits adjacent to the famous Margaret River main break. While Margs gets the crowds, Surfers Point offers a longer, more workable wall that suits progressive surfing. The wave breaks over a rock and reef bottom, producing consistent walls with occasional barrel sections on the inside. When SW groundswells march in from the Southern Ocean, this wave comes alive with power and punch. The Margaret River wine region backdrop adds a touch of class to your surf trip.
