Secret Groyne is a well-known surf break in Perth’s southern suburbs, Western Australia, tucked into the coast south of the city. It’s a groyne/reef-style wave rather than a classic beachie, and it’s popular with local surfers who know how to handle a fairly punchy setup.
General description
- Location: Perth South, WA
- Wave type: Groyne / reef-influenced
- Best for: Intermediate to advanced surfers
- Crowd: Can be busy when conditions are good, especially with locals
- Vibe: Often a “local” spot with a fairly strong community feel
Conditions
Secret Groyne tends to work best with:
- Small to medium swell
- Offshore winds
- Tide sensitivity depending on the bank/reef setup
Because it’s a groyne/point-like structure, the wave can be faster and more mechanical than an open beach break, with sections that can barrel or bowl if the sand and swell line up properly.
What to expect
- Quick takeoff
- Some hollow sections
- Can have a strong rip/current near the structure
- Better as a shortboard wave than a longboard cruise, though that depends on size and shape
Hazards
- Rocks/groyne structure
- Strong currents
- Crowds/local priority
- Can be inconsistent without the right swell direction
