About Margaret River
Margaret River is a town in the south-west corner of Western Australia, and the surf spot that carries its name breaks on a reef out from Surfers Point, near the mouth of the river at Prevelly. The wave breaks a long way off the shore and is often described as big and powerful, because it is exposed to swells that travel up from the Southern Ocean with little to stop them. Professional contests have been held here for decades. The largest surf generally arrives in the southern autumn and winter, most often from around April to September, though the coast receives swell through much of the year. The area is also widely known for its vineyards, forests and caves, and there are gentler beaches nearby for surfers who want them.
