Found right in Perth, Western Australia, The Spot is an excellent rocky reef break. The waves break to the left, and are challenging and sucky, but can break for up to 100 meters, serving up barreling sections that can deliver some shade from the bright Aussie sun.

Gets good between waist high and double overhead. We recommend riding your longboard, standard shortboard, or step up when bigger here. The Spot is best suited to intermediate and advanced surfers due to its shallow rock bottom. The surf here usually breaks (5/10) and can get ridiculously crowded due to its proximity to Perth (9/10).
