Yanchep - doggies beach
Edit SpotAbout
its a fun wave,i did my first ars at this spot so its one of my favourites!on the reef and even the shories on a big day should only be surfed by guys/girls who have an idea on what there doin.otherwise its ok for a fun paddle.
Atmosphere:
it has an outer reef called laurences.when this breaks its a good indication that dogies is breaking.laurences is also a great indicator of when a set is coming due to it breaking.some of us believe that if laurences wasnt there then dooggies would be absolutely massive,but what can you do?definately worth looking at!!
Additional Info:
it breaks best left but you can it has an outer occasional drop into the pit goin right.breaks of the reef and on a good ride can take you into shore.reef can suck really bad but once ur on the wave you should be right.its a dogg beach(hence the name)so its not to hard to find from the main beaches,ENJOY!!
