Strickland Bay
Edit SpotAbout
its pretty much the best wave for mid experienced surfers, if your looking for a more intense ride walk past radar reef and go to box !
Atmosphere:
more crowded than the rest of the island. Mostly a left when working but also a right. A great place to film aswell. The left holds up on the bigger ones the rights hold up every size, its a sick wave
Additional Info:
there are no cars on rottnest, so catch the bus. One of the best but the most crowded spot on the island. Fun wave and when its big and the take off isnt as hard as it looks.
