Mossies

Mossies is a surf spot in Western Australia, north of Perth. It’s generally known as a local reef/breaky-wave spot that can light up when the right swell direction and wind line up.

Quick description

• Location: Perth’s northern coastline, WA
• Wave type: Typically a reef/nearshore break rather than a mellow beachie
• Best conditions: Usually best with a clean offshore breeze and a solid W to SW swell
• Character: Can offer fast, punchy, and sometimes heavy waves
• Crowd: Often a local-favored spot and can get competitive when conditions are good

What to expect

Mossies is the kind of spot that tends to be: - More suited to intermediate to advanced surfers - Sensitive to swell angle and tide - Potentially shallow in sections, so it may not be ideal for beginners

General vibe

Like many Perth-north breaks, it can be a great option on the right day, but it’s not usually a guaranteed everyday wave. When it’s working, it can produce fun, steep waves with good shape.
