Turtles in Western Australia is a surf spot that requires a bit of effort to get to. You can only reach it by foot, so be prepared for a hike as there's no 4WD access. Camping isn’t allowed here, which might make it less appealing for those looking for a long stay. However, for surfers who make the trek, it can be worth it for the waves.

The surf here can get pretty exciting. Turtles offers a quality barrelling left and a more fickle right, both breaking over shallow, sharp reef. It handles swell sizes of around 3ft (about 1 meter) and works best with southwest swells. You’ll want to keep an eye on the wind, as east winds are preferable for the best surfing experience. Turtles is not for beginners; this spot is meant for experts. The ideal tide heights are low, mid, and high, allowing for a versatile surf experience.

Make sure to check the swell directions as well; it's optimal from the southwest, but it can also pick up swells from the south and west. Just remember, this spot is best suited for those who really know what they are doing, so if you’re up for the challenge, Turtles might just be worth the effort.
