Western Australia
The Margaret River Main Break is one of Australia's premier big-wave reef breaks and a permanent fixture on the WSL Championship Tour. Located at the mouth of the Margaret River, it delivers powerful, barrelling left-handers and a more forgiving right that challenge even world-class surfers. Not a wave for the inexperienced — heavy, fast and unforgiving.
