Gearies

Gearies is a surf spot located in South West Australia, Australia. Known for its long wrapping left-hand wave, Gearies only breaks in big swells, making it one of the longest but also most fickle waves in Western Australia. On good days, the wave can link from Sharkies (out the back) to Gearies and then to Cozzies, offering a very long ride. The spot is situated 500 meters south of Falcon Bay and can be accessed by following the Mandurah coastal road, just north of Avalon Point. Gearies is characterized by its rocky bottom and is best surfed at low tide. The wave direction is left, and it is considered a regional classic, suitable for surfers of all levels. However, it rarely breaks, and when it does, it can get crowded, especially with mal riders. The wave length ranges from 150 to 300 meters. Gearies works well in a southwest wind, which is onshore everywhere else, making it a great spot if you catch it on. If the swell is too small, surfers can try Avalon Point further south. Nearby surf spots include Cozzies, Avalon Point, Egg Farms, Mandurah Wedge, and Pyramids. It’s important to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Always check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Gearies is a popular destination for surfers looking for a challenging and rewarding experience. The spot’s unique characteristics and location make it a must-visit for those seeking a memorable surfing adventure in South West Australia. Remember to use the surf forecast, report, map, and webcam to plan your visit effectively. Respect the locals.
