Rabbit Hill

Rabbit Hill is a surf spot in Western Australia’s Margaret River North region, part of the rugged south-west coastline known for powerful, high-quality waves and exposed reef/point-style breaks.

Quick description

• Location: North of Margaret River, WA, on the open west/southwest-facing coast
• Wave type: Typically a reef/point-style break with fast, punchy waves
• Best for: Experienced surfers comfortable in powerful surf and often demanding conditions
• Conditions: Can pick up a lot of swell and wind quickly due to its exposed position
• Crowds: Usually less of a beginner-friendly, casual beach-break spot; local knowledge helps a lot

What it’s like

Rabbit Hill is the kind of break that can offer quality, hollow or fast-moving waves when the swell lines up, but it can also be serious and unforgiving. The Margaret River area is famous for strong currents, shallow reef, and heavy surf, so timing, tides, and swell direction matter a lot.

Best suited to

• Intermediate to advanced surfers
• Surfers with experience in reef breaks
• Those looking for more powerful waves than a mellow beach break

Things to keep in mind

• Hazards: Reef, rocks, rips, strong surf
• Access/entry: May involve a walk-in or tricky access depending on the exact section
• Safety: Check local conditions carefully and surf with awareness
