Description

The Box: the infamous Western Australia square wave Welcome to The Box, a thick and hollow wave and one of the most dangerous and challenging surf spots on the planet. The Box is a fast right-hand reef break located 200 meters off the coast in Margaret River, Western Australia. It is also a big wave surfing destination that often lives up to its reputation. But The Box is not your average wave. The spot actually sits in the path of the Roaring Forties, west of Margaret River. It is a sensitive surf zone that only shines with SW-S swell, NE-SE winds, and on a mid-to-high tide. However, the region is frequently plagued by onshore winds, transforming the lineups into choppy and bumpy, unsurfable waters. One of the best observation spots is the Surfer's Point car park, but you can also check the conditions from Margaret Rivermouth. In the early 1970s, it was hard to get to The Box, as there were almost no roads to the tricky spot. Margaret River is a surf town with more than 40 quality breaks in the region. Despite its shark-infested waters, there is always a beautiful wave peeling down the line nearby. It is also a big wave surfing destination that often lives up to its reputation.
