City Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Fun spot particularly for arvo surfing in summer. Park only in top car park or parking inspectors will get you. Lifesavers are nazis so don't upset them. Other great thing about this spot is you can surf at night by the light on the end of the pier.
Atmosphere:
Atmosphere is OK. One of only spots on coast which can be surfed when the Fremantle Doctor blows in. In summer, you have to wait until flags for swimmers are removed. Good body surfing spot while you are waiting. Winter tends towards more of a beach break than breaking on the groyne.
Additional Info:
Break is located at end of groyne. In summer sand banks up on south side, break is north side and vice versa in winter. Take off next to rocks.
