Surfing locations in South West Western Australia
Coordinates: 34°S 115°E / 34°S 115°E
Most surf breaks in the Capes region – from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin – within the larger area known as the South West region of Western Australia tend to have the name Margaret River attached, despite the wide geographic range of locations where the breaks are located.
Surfing in this region was well established in the 1970s, with a 1970 government mapping guide to the region identifying surfing locations.
By the 1990s the names of the individual breaks were so well established that online and published guides were able to locate and identify the behaviours of the breaks.
The surfing culture of the region is well embedded in the communities along the coast.
The roads named below run off Caves Road, the main western route between Dunsborough and Augusta. The identification of nearby roads does not guarantee that there is access to any of these locations.
Some systems in describing locations, have Margaret River North - this list divides as below, using Yalingup, and Gracetown, as boundaries of smaller surfing regions.
The Ngari Capes Marine Park has some of the breaks listed below in the Special Purpose Zone (Surfing) locations in the park.
