North Point
Surf Guide
You've probably seen pics of this place. It's one of the most photogenic in the region. Popularised when the CT moved Margs comp here on a firing day. Photographers can get tight shots from the rocks or swim into the channel and snap aspiring professionals pulling into the outside death section.There are two sections: the outside pit, which looks reasonably makeable from the take-off, then the shallow inside section. Making both takes a lot of skill. Seriously good surfers rule here, taking off deep and gunning a high line through one of the heaviest barrels in WA, leaving only the odd scraps for the lids and lesser surfers who clamber over it from the safer take-off spots.Don't want to risk it? Join the crowds on the point and enjoy the action.
