Big Rock (WA) surf guide

Big Rock in Western Australia is a known surf spot that has gained popularity over the years. It's located along a crowded stretch of coast, particularly busy when the swell and wind are favorable. The spot isn't a secret anymore, so you can expect to share the waves with quite a few other surfers, especially those looking to take on the challenge it presents.

The surf here often features a shallow and sucky right that can get pretty intimidating once the swell hits over 5 feet (1.5 meters). However, it can handle some solid size, making it attractive to natural footers. Ideal conditions come when there's a southwest swell, but it can also work with swells from the south and northwest. The waves break over uneven reef, creating a unique take-off zone, and are best surfed during mid to high tide. It’s definitely a spot for experts, as the waves can be tricky, especially in larger conditions.

Besides Big Rock, there are other nearby surf options worth checking out. For instance, Cobblestones offers a superb right with a gnarly inside shut-down known as the Cheese Grater. Right in front of the car park, you can find Noisies, which has more pitching lefts and rights breaking over the sharp reef. Keep an eye on the conditions, as the area can be quite dynamic with currents and plenty of urchins around.
