Margaret River is renowned through out Australia and around the globe by surfers interested in the very best breaks in the country.

One of these breaks is in Margaret River in Surfers Point in Prevelley Park where the Masters surfing championships are held every year surfers and professionals from all over the world gather to enter the competition and crowds watch the events. Other contests are held here like the Margaret River Classic plus a number of other smaller competitions over the year.

Margaret River is recognised as one of the major board riding beaches in Western Australia. The swells and sets are constant with the larger waves turning up in the September and again in the winter months. The breaks are clean, varied and different. It is a place for the experienced surer.

The world class reef breaks at Margaret River offer almost perfect lefts and rights that come from long-range ocean swells that pure into the mouth of the river. The waves pop up and form over the shallow and hard reef bottom creating a wave that offers a fantastic ride.

The locals and experienced surfers know to set themselves up right under the closing lip drop to the bottom and feel the power push them into the line of the wave.This is a very powerful wave that holds massive swells and one should not paddle out unless they have some experience in this type of surf.

Even if you are somewhat inexperienced it is worth the visit, just to sit on the cliffs and watch the action. The inexperienced are not left out as you will find safer beach breaks near-by.
