Bunbury - Cut

Bunbury – Cut is a surf spot on the southwest coast of Western Australia, near Bunbury in the Perth South region. It’s a beachbreak / man-made opening area that can offer fun waves when the swell, wind, and sandbanks line up.

What it’s like

• Wave type: Mostly beachbreak waves, with conditions influenced by local sand movement.
• Best conditions: Typically works best with a clean swell, offshore winds, and a consistent medium swell.
• Wave quality: Can be fun and punchy, though generally more of a local surf option than a world-class break.
• Crowds: Often lighter than Perth’s more famous spots, but it can still get busy when conditions are good.

Surfing notes

• Good for surfers looking for a accessible, no-fuss session.
• Because it’s a beachbreak, the waves can be variable and the peak can shift.
• Can be suitable for intermediate surfers, though on bigger days it may suit more experienced riders.

Local conditions

• Wind: Offshore easterlies are usually preferable.
• Swell direction: Handles southern to southwest swells well.
• Hazards: Watch for strong rips, shifting banks, and occasional shorebreak power.
