Margaret River - Suicides
Edit SpotAbout
These waves start with a jacking take off section breaking into solid walls. The rights fade out and the lefts shut down on to the shallow reef. Starts to work with a big clean swell. Better at mid to high tide. Small and shallow take-off. After there is a channel.goes without saying that you need to be expert to survive here on big days. quite apart from the wave itself, there's also hold-downs, being caught inside on surgen's table, broken boards and strong currents to think about. the left if more un-forgiving that the right as there is a good chance you will end up on the "surgen's table"
