Drive North from Carnarvon and Turn into blow holes road. Drive till you hit the coast and turn right onto the unsealed section. Drive past Quobba Station (remember to shut the gates) & follow the signs
This is a fast powerful wave that has claimed more than its fair share of victims on its reef so if possible wear a helmet. Booties will also reduce the amount of urchin spins in your foot (thats reduce not prevent). Even though the place is out of the way there are people who come back every year so expect a bit of a local presence (or people who think they are locals
Overview
Atmosphere
The atmosphere can be cruisy or intense depending on your attitude. What goes around comes around so share a few beers with the ther surfers and you'll find your stay quite enjoyable. It is an hour and a half out of Carnarvon near a few other well known surf spots such as Turtles and Tombstones.
General
Everything about this place is classic: The wave, camping at night under a blanket of stars and the best mango thickshakes in the west from the Red Bluff supply store. Breaks nearly all year round. If not breaking just go off the reef and get loads of Lobster and huge reef.
are you kidding?
you blokes bagging out the bluff cannot be serious. i've been going up there for the last 8 years and i keep goin back..if it's that much of a hole i would've bailed after my first trip. the people up there are fucking legends if you arent a cockhead. and the waves?..yeah you might have to wait a couple of days for a decent swell but when it comes the wave has gotta up there with the best in the world. so if you arent a completely pretentious fuck..go back in the season and stick around for a few days to see what the bluss really has to offer...or dont..we dont really need simple minded fucks like you blokes there anyway. bluff is magic!

Still wondering if Amiel is about
Was wondering if anyone knows of the whereabouts of a guy called Amiel. Used to surf Red Bluff a few years back and lived down the road in Carnarvon. I'd love to get in touch with him...
