Gearies
Edit SpotAbout
The best wave in Mandurah, frequented by mal riders hwoever.Best thing about this wave is it works in a SW wind which is onshore everywhere else.
Atmosphere:
Great spot if you catch it on - the chances of which are pretty small.You could be in for a very long ride.If its too small, try Avalon Point further south
Additional Info:
This is a long wrapping left, that only breaks in big swells.On good days it links from sharkies (out the back) to Gearies and then to cozies.Its one of the longest (but also most fickle) waves in WA.do not take the rights, as they may be tempting it will go dry on the reef
