The break.
Reef and pointExpertMixed
Main Break, the Margaret River Pro
A granite point and a bombie on the southwest tip of Australia. Margaret River is Main Break, The Box next door, and a town that grew around wine and winter swell. The Rip Curl Pro comes here. The water is cold. The reef is not friendly.
When.
April to September
Southwest swell in winter. A clean morning before the wind is the one you want.
The lineup.
Main BreakThe BoxLeftovers
Worth knowing.
- 1. Main Break is the one on TV. The Box is a different wave for a different surfer. Do not mix them up.
- 2. Prevelly is the car park. You see the bombie from the lookout before you commit.
- 3. Sharks are a real part of this coast. That is the water, not a movie.
- 4. Winter is the window. Summer is smaller, still rideable, not why the tour comes.
Go.
Before you paddle.
- 1. Check local conditions before entering

- 4. Watch for rip currents
