Bunbury - Cut

Edit Spot
About

Some days i have been out at the cut and waves have been grinding for 3 to 4 hundred mtrs. This only happens when it is big. The left is the better break as the right sections off a bit because of sand movement.

Atmosphere:
This spot i one of my favourite spots in nearly the all of the WA on it's day it rates to some of the best waves down in the margarets region. This wave contains lot's of currents and rips beware of these. The wave it also located a long way out and the size from the shore is decieving.

Additional Info:
This spot is surfed very well on a longboard because it lasts so long but is also excelent for a short board because it has lot's of fast open barrelly sections. Probably the best time to surf it would be after rain or a storm where sediment washed out of the leshinult estuary is diposited on the breaks bottom. This rain helps the break to open up a bit and become more hollow
