BP Reef

BP Reef is a surf spot located in South West Australia, Australia. This spot is known for its rocky bottom and provides both left and right waves, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The waves at BP Reef can be hollow, breaking over a shallow reef, which requires surfers to take off deep, often referred to as ‘back door.’ The right-handers are popular among bodyboarders due to the shallow conditions, which can be challenging for traditional surfers. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, and it can break at all tides, although it only sometimes breaks. The crowd at BP Reef is typically empty, providing a more solitary surfing experience. Nearby surf spots include The Groyne, Back Beach Surf Club, Fragles, Shelbys Vag, and Ammos. To reach BP Reef, head towards the Bunbury Port, and look for a sign on limestone bricks saying ‘Bunbury Port Authority.’ The break is located in front of the car park just before that sign, specifically to the left. When surfing at BP Reef, it’s important to respect the locals and adhere to 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 consult a surf forecast, report, or map to get the latest information on conditions, and consider using a webcam for real-time updates. Respect the locals.
