About this spot
Surfers Point at Prevelly is the heart of the Margaret River surf zone, a stretch of coast exposed to the full force of the Roaring Forties and Indian Ocean groundswell. Solid 2–4 m SW swell is the year-round baseline, with winter producing regular 5 m+ days. The Margaret River main break, the Box and Gas Bay each offer different foiling options on the right size and direction, but all demand advanced ocean experience.
Wind is reliable: SE morning offshores produce glassy conditions, while afternoon SW seabreezes build to 15–25 kt and create downwind potential along the coast. Water is cool — 16–19 °C in winter, 19–22 °C in summer — and a wetsuit is mandatory year-round. The region is also a Great White Shark area; locals respect dawn and dusk patterns.
WA regulates eFoils under Department of Transport powered-vessel rules with daylight-only operation and registration thresholds. This is not a beginner location — the combination of swell power, current and remote launches at Prevelly and Gnarabup means genuine surf-foiling experience is required.
Typical conditions
Powerful SW Indian Ocean swell year-round 1.5–4 m; SE morning offshore, SW afternoon onshore 15–25 kt; cool 16–22 °C water.
