About this Spot

Moses Rock is a surf spot located in South West Australia, Australia. It is situated within the Capes Region, also known as Cape to Cape, which stretches between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin. This region is renowned for its surfing culture, which has been well-established since the 1970s. Moses Rock is known for its left-hand wave direction and rocky bottom, making it a regional classic spot that is best suited for intermediate surfers. The waves here can range from 50 to 150 meters in length, providing a regular frequency of surfable conditions. The spot tends to be less crowded, with only a few surfers typically present. Access to Moses Rock can be a bit challenging, as locals often remove road signs, so it’s advisable to drive down Caves Road and turn into Moses Rock Road, preferably with a 4WD vehicle. The surf spot picks up swell even when other spots are flat, making it a reliable choice for surfers looking for consistent waves. However, localism can be an issue, so it’s important to respect the locals and not act like you own the wave. Surf etiquette should be observed, especially in crowded conditions. Additionally, surfers should check their skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match their surfing level. Respect the locals.
