Gallows

Gallows is a surf spot located in South West Australia, Australia, specifically in the Capes Region, which is known for its variety of surf breaks. The spot is situated south of Injidup Point and north of Cowaramup Bay, accessible via Biljedup Road, and requires a 4×4 vehicle to reach. Gallows is nestled between the surf spots Guillotines and Moses Rock, making it a worthwhile option when other spots are crowded or the swell is small. The wave at Gallows breaks left over a shallow coral reef, providing a regional classic surfing experience. It is best suited for intermediate surfers due to the quick peeling nature of the wave and the presence of a shallow reef. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, and it handles southwest wind well, with optimal conditions during medium to high tide. The spot is known for its relatively uncrowded lineup, offering a more relaxed surfing experience compared to other popular spots in the region. However, surfers should be cautious of localism and the presence of sharks in the area. It’s important to check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots and to assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Nearby surf spots include Willyabrup, Guillotines, Honeycombs, Moses Rock, and Cow Bombie. Respect the locals.
