Coral Coast, Western Australia

Gnaraloo

Advanced Reef break Rock bottom Peels both 1.5–5 m Mid tide

The northern edge of the Quobba coastline, with long, fast rights (Tombstones) and heavy lefts breaking over shallow coral shelf in absurdly clear water. A working station with camping that doubles as a pilgrimage for surfers chasing Indian Ocean groundswell at the edge of the desert. Remote, sharky and unforgettable.
