Scarborough

Surf Guide

In winter, when the onshores blow for more than a couple of days, this beach can crank. SW swells have some shadow from Rottnest Island but when waves wrap in past the contential shelf, they hit Scarborough's relatively steep banks, they can pack a punch.Most of the time, though, it's an average beachbreak, albeit one with banks spread along a couple of kilometers (the whole stretch goes from Brighton in the south, to Scabs, Contacio, and Trigg). This is Perth's equivalent of Manly, in Sydney.
