Red Bluff

Edit Spot
About

Everything about this place is classic: The wave, camping at night under a blanket of stars and the best mango thickshakes in the west from the Red Bluff supply store. Breaks nearly all year round. If not breaking just go off the reef and get loads of Lobster and huge reef.

Atmosphere:
The atmosphere can be cruisy or intense depending on your attitude. What goes around comes around so share a few beers with the ther surfers and you'll find your stay quite enjoyable. It is an hour and a half out of Carnarvon near a few other well known surf spots such as Turtles and Tombstones.

Additional Info:
This is a fast powerful wave that has claimed more than its fair share of victims on its reef so if possible wear a helmet. Booties will also reduce the amount of urchin spins in your foot (thats reduce not prevent). Even though the place is out of the way there are people who come back every year so expect a bit of a local presence (or people who think they are locals
