Surf Stark Bay

Stark Bay - Rottnest Island Stark Bay features powerful, hollow left-hand reef waves breaking over flat rocks. This spot is best surfed at low and mid tide, with rising and falling tides providing optimal conditions. Access is straightforward via a ferry from Perth, followed by a short bus or bike ride, and a 15-minute paddle out when the waves are breaking. Located on the north side of Rottnest Island, Stark Bay is a hidden gem for experienced surfers seeking a less crowded experience. The waves can be challenging, often growling and hollow, making it essential to be cautious of strong currents and rocky hazards. While it can get crowded on weekends, weekdays typically see fewer surfers. With its stunning scenery and thrilling surf, Stark Bay is an excellent alternative when conditions are poor on the mainland.
