Margaret River Suicides

Margaret River Suicides is a surf spot located in South West Australia, Australia. This surf spot is known for its challenging conditions, making it suitable for experienced surfers. The waves here start with a jacking take-off section that breaks into solid walls. The spot provides both left and right waves, with the lefts shutting down onto a shallow reef, making it more unforgiving than the rights. The bottom is a coral reef, and the spot works best with a big clean swell at mid to high tide. Surfers should be prepared for small and shallow take-offs, strong currents, and the possibility of hold-downs and broken boards. The area is known for its urchins, rocks, and occasional shark sightings, so caution is advised. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, and the spot is usually empty, providing a solitary surfing experience. Access to the spot requires a paddle of over 20 minutes or a boat ride. Nearby surf spots include Margaret River Point, Margaret River Bommie, Margaret Rivermouth, Gnarabup, and The Box. When visiting, it’s important to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots. Always check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Remember to stay informed about the surf forecast, report, and map to make the most of your surfing experience. Respect the locals.
