Unbelievable surfing

Margaret River is world renowned for its huge surf and is on the professional world surfing contest event schedule. The surfing event is held in March each year and the size of the waves at this time of the year averages six to ten feet.

The swells come all the way from the Antarctic building up as swell travels the many thousands of kilometers to the South Western coastline where they break onto the reefs and travel into the mouth of the Margaret River.

A "must see" for the visitor to the region, is to travel the 40 kilometers south from Margaret River to the end of the coastline and the end of South Western Australia where the Indian and the Great Southern Oceans meet. It is an amazing sight to witness these two great Oceans collide whipping up gigantic swells that originated from the Antarctic almost three thousand kilometers away!
