Summer surf in Perth

In the first half of summer you need to get to your Perth surf beach EARLY morning before the sea breeze known as the "Fremantle Doctor" comes in at about 10am. From about February to April, surfing conditions can be perfect all day with glassy walls and no wind or light off shore (easterly) winds. If a cyclone comes down the coast, waves can be quite big for Perth. (2 metre).

Winter surf in Perth

Perth's winter surf builds sand banks along the Sunset Coast. It's 3mm steamer wetsuit time but despite the cooler conditions, surfing on low wind chill, sunny winter days with the sun on a black wetsuit is an enjoyable, popular experience. The full surf beach car parks are testimony to that. A cheap steamer wetsuit in Perth from a surf shop costs about $100. Buying wet suit online might be cheaper, but it's best to go to a retail surf shop in Perth to try your wet suit on. I ware my steamer wet suit with a zip at the front, a lot more than my business suit which costs $200 and I have more fun in my wet suit.
