West-Busso Point

West-Busso Point is a surf spot in Western Australia, in the Margaret River North area, near the Busselton / Busselton-Busselton coastline region. It’s generally known as a reef/point-style break rather than a beachbreak, so the waves tend to be more organized and can offer longer rides when conditions line up.

Typical surf characteristics

• Wave type: Reef/point
• Best swell: Usually works best with a solid south to southwest swell
• Wind: Light offshore easterlies are typically ideal
• Ability level: Often more suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers, depending on size and reef exposure
• Ride quality: Can produce clean, shaped waves with good walls and sections

What to expect

• More defined takeoff zone than a beachbreak
• Can be faster and punchier than it looks
• Quality improves with the right swell direction and tide
• Because it’s in a reef environment, be mindful of rocks/reef hazards

Conditions and season

• Winter and autumn usually bring the most consistent swell
• Summer can be smaller and more playful, though conditions vary
• Tides can matter a lot at reef breaks, so checking tide windows is important

Local note

This part of WA can be powerful and exposed, and conditions may change quickly. If you’re heading there, it’s worth checking: - current swell direction/size - wind direction - tide - local access and safety conditions
