About this Spot

The Womb is a surf spot located in South West Australia, Australia, specifically in the Capes Region, which is known for its numerous surf breaks. The Womb is situated near Gracetown and is part of the coastline that includes other notable spots like Left Handers and Ellensbrook. This spot features a left wave direction and a coral reef bottom, making it a regional classic for surfing. The wave length is less than 50 meters, and it is known for its short but intense barrel section. The Womb is suitable for intermediate surfers due to its challenging nature, with the take-off pitching surfers straight into the barrel. The spot is known for its powerful waves, which can be dangerous, and has seen more than one pro surfer needing medical attention after surfing here. The vibe at The Womb is generally friendly, but it’s important to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. The spot is less crowded, with few surfers, and offers a photogenic wave on clean days. The Womb is about 400 meters north of Ellenbrook Bombie and can be accessed by driving down Ellenbrook Road from Caves Road.
