Leighton surf guide

Leighton is a surf spot located just south of Fremantle, and it’s a great option for those seeking fewer crowds. It’s set in a more industrial area, which means you can often find some space in the lineup. The spot can work on any major west swell, offering a decent place to catch some waves.

This beach break handles swell sizes down to about 1ft (0.3 meters) and is best when the swell comes from the west, though it can also work with south-west and north-west swells. You can catch both left and right-hand waves here, making it suitable for various surfers. East winds are preferable, and the best time to hit the water is during mid to high tide. Overall, it’s a solid spot for beginners looking to practice without overly complicated conditions.

While Leighton is less consistent than some spots further north, it still offers a good environment for learning. The sandy bottom is forgiving, and with the right swell, you can have a fun day out in the water. Just keep an eye on the conditions, and it can be a worthwhile place to surf.
