One Day in W.A.
G’day from W.A. I’ve timed my 24-hour jaunt to sunny Perth well, as Bondi is smothered with southerlies and storms. Perth is known for its sunny weather and enjoys an average of 8 hours of sunshine daily throughout the year, one of Australia’s highest. The average temperature in summer is around 30°C! Thankfully the cooling […]
Margs
I’m over here in the West (Margaret River) for a real quick fly-through and it’s hoooooot (40 yesterday!). I forgot how dry and brutal the heat can get in West Oz. Perfect beach weather. The surf was 4 foot, cross-shore with a bit of southerly. 3 guys out at main break (wow) …so many beaches […]
Blotto @ Rotto
My fascination for the ocean begun in Perth, it’s where I was born. Rottnest Island is an island just offshore from Perth. It’s actually the main reason why Perth city doesn’t have great waves as it acts as a swell barrier for the city. This is why you need to drive down south (Margs) or […]
#PerthIsOk
A quick stop in Perth Western Australia proved quite fruitful. An NE swell is in the Sandgroper City and there is plenty of peaks worthy of a surf. City Beach, of all places, had pretty incredible little hollow rights off the groyne… My fascination for the ocean began around here in Perth. As kids, we […]

The swell has gone and it doesn’t look like it will return until the weekend. Overall the next 10 days looks very small. Where have those booming autumn swells gone? Incredible day outside. There was a chill in the air. 1 foot. For the next two weeks these updates will be sent from a boat […]
4 degrees
Still hanging on the west coast of Australia, we’ve got another all-day-offshore-affair with 3 footers in the Perth metro. Down south would be smokin’ right now…but there are still plenty of uncrowded waves very close to the city. Take this little right hander for example…no one out when we pulled up at 7:30am. Every few […]
Boomtown
I’m currently in Perth. Now the Perth metro area isn’t famous for good waves. Not like Margaret River or up North. So when my old mate, Young Bull, called up to say its cranking in Perth, I gave him the ‘ok buddy – sure thing – whatever’ and headed down the beach thinking a nice […]
Trigg Beach
Today’s Aquabumps comes from the other side of this big island, Trigg Point, Perth – Western Australia. Trigg beach is famous for being one of the most busiest surf breaks in the world. The beach is massively long, and flat, and the banks are usually dead straight to match – but the little corner pocket […]
