roberts point

Roberts Point is a surf spot in Perth’s southern coastline, Western Australia. It’s a wind- and swell-exposed break that can offer solid beachbreak surf, especially when the sandbanks line up. Conditions can change quickly, so it’s the kind of place that can be average one day and surprisingly good the next.

Typical surf character

• Type: Beachbreak / sandbank-dependent
• Wave quality: Can be punchy and fun, but inconsistent
• Best for: Intermediate surfers and experienced locals who know the area
• Main influence: Swell direction, sand movement, and wind

What to expect

• Works best with clean offshore or light wind conditions
• Can handle southwest swell well, depending on the bank setup
• Waves may be short, fast, and hollow at times
• Can get crowded when conditions are good, especially on weekends

Hazards / considerations

• Strong currents and shifting banks
• Can be closeout-prone on bigger swells
• Watch for rocks or shallow sections if the banks move
• Local conditions can vary a lot, so checking a recent report is important

Best time to surf

• Often best during autumn and winter when SW swells are more consistent
• Early morning usually gives the cleanest conditions before sea breezes pick up
