Margaret River Pro 2023 in Western Australia

The fifth stop on the Men’s and Women’s Surfing Championship Tour 2023. One never quite knows what they’re going to get when they land in Margaret River in wild and wooly Western Australia. The surf can be quadruple overhead and terrifying at main break.

Or hop across the channel to the slab known simply as “The Box” and things get spine-tinglingly dangerous. But then on an average it “Margs” can serve up a playful left and right peak.

With its green, rolling hills serving as a pastoral backdrop, the rest of the world seems to fall away when you’re in West Oz. The pace of life slows down, the coast is raw, the seafood delicious and the wine tasting phenomenal.

If it’s a walkabout you’re after, Margaret River is an epic place to take your first steps.
