About this Spot

Pengoes is a surf spot located in the Perth Area of Australia. This spot is known for its coral reef bottom and provides both left and right waves, making it a versatile location for surfers. The waves at Pengoes are best suited for medium to high tide conditions and can accommodate surfers of all experience levels. The spot is relatively consistent, especially when other areas are flat, but it cannot hold swells larger than 2 meters, with the biggest waves reaching chest to shoulder height on a super high tide. The surf break is less than 50 meters in length, and the crowd is typically small, although the limited takeoff peak can lead to crowding. The atmosphere is generally quiet, but seagulls can be a nuisance. Pengoes is part of a nature and marine reserve, making it a good spot for swimming or snorkeling when there is no swell, as there is an abundance of fish. To reach Pengoes, head to Rockingham and continue south to Safety Bay, where you can leave your car in a car park near a cafe. From there, walk across the sandbar to Penguin Island and follow the path to the back of the island where the break is located. The paddle to the spot takes over 20 minutes, or you can opt to take a boat. It’s important to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Always check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Remember to include keywords such as surf, surfing, spot, forecast, report, map, and webcam in your search for more information about Pengoes. Respect the locals.
