Margaret River Main Break is the iconic, world class reef break at the heart of the Margaret River region in Western Australia and the long-time venue for the Margaret River Pro. A powerful, highly consistent A-frame peak that handles serious size, it produces long, high performance walls both left and right and is widely regarded as one of the best competition waves in the country.

​

The Break Sections
* Main Break / Surfers Point peak: The primary A frame. The right is shorter, steeper and punchier; the left is the money wave longer, more rippable walls that improve as the swell builds and can run for a long way.  
* Southsides: The peak just to the south. Offers additional lefts and rights that help spread the crowd and still deliver solid walls on the same swell.  
* Nearby options: The Box (heavy, shallow slab to the right) and Rivermouth (punchy beach peaks closer in) sit within the same bay for different challenges or smaller days.

​

Best Conditions  
* Season: Autumn through winter (March–September) for the strongest and most consistent SW–W groundswells.  
* Swell: Southwest to west (long-period preferred).  
* Wind: East to southeast / northeast (offshore).  
* Tide: Works on most tides; mid often preferred for best shape.
