Additional Surfing Infos |
| | You just need real big balls and to be crazy.
+
You have to take a day trip from Esperance, and get out there by boat. Esperance is 7 hours drive from Perth. So, to get out there is a trek from mainland, so you will have to take a boat, but anyway, you probably won't find it.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Cyclops is the heaviest wave in OZ! Once the lip hits the water, it explodes like TNT ! It is pretty much only a bodyboarding wave, although surfers can tow in, but it is risky, but has been done before in billabong odyssey. The reef is super shallow! It looks like it will be a 3-4 foot wave, and jacks up to 10 feet. |

General |
Crazy wave. Cyclops isn't for the faint hearted! It is featured in movement magazine, there you can see it's fury, even breaking Jackos back! If you are game enough to try to find this break to surf it, good luck ey!!
+
Cyclops is the most hyped least surfed wave in the world. It's extremely heavy with massive amounts of water unloading on shallow reef. Cyclops is definitely Australia’s heaviest wave to date. |
