South West WA has been laying on some pretty epic waves over the past few days. The whole of the Margaret River region lit up over the weekend, a smorgasbord of pumping reefs and beachies! One beach-break in particular was as good as it gets on Saturday and Sunday.

It was pretty solid on Saturday morning, especially for a beachie. The big, perfect right-hand tubes were a spitting image of Backdoor Pipe.

Local lads Rohan Annersley and Ernie were getting more than their fair share, locking into some lengthy stand-up barrels.

Sunday was a bit smaller but the clean swell and the perfectly formed sandbanks combined to produce some beautiful turquoise peaks which were littered up and down the beach.

Perth grom, Mitch Taylor got onto some smokers. How’s this tube?! He got two barrels on this wave before the sucker spat him out.

It’s looking a bit grim for surf this weekend with moderate onshore winds forecast…but there is plenty of swell on the radar so you’ll get some waves if you’re keen.
