Piss head's

Piss Heads is a surf break on Rottnest Island, off the coast of Perth, Western Australia. It’s known as one of the island’s more exposed reef breaks, taking in swell that wraps around the island and can offer powerful, quality waves when conditions line up.

Quick description

• Location: Rottnest Island, near Perth, WA
• Type: Reef break
• Best for: Experienced surfers
• Wave quality: Can be fast, hollow, and punchy on the right swell
• Conditions: Works best with the right wind direction and a solid south-west swell
• Hazards: Shallow reef, strong currents, and isolated conditions

What it’s like

Piss Heads can produce clean, fun, and sometimes heavy surf, especially when other breaks on the island are either too small or not working. Because it’s on reef, the wave can be more precise and powerful than beach breaks, with short, intense rides rather than long mellow walls.

Things to keep in mind

• The spot can be sensitive to swell direction and tide
• It’s best surfed by people who are comfortable with reef breaks
• Rottnest can be crowded in good conditions, even though it’s offshore
• Always check local conditions, access, and hazards before paddling out
