Jake's Point
Surf Guide
A six-hour drive north of Perth is Kalbarri, home to the jacking lefthander Jake's Point. One of those idiosyncratic waves that are absolutely owned by the local surfers, unless you're at WCT level or you've come from Teahupo'o, you won't dominate or even catch sets on a good day. Like most reefs, Jake's breaks from two foot upwards. And the tough fisherfolk who populate this picturesque desert town don't want to touch it when it gets small.
