Jake's Point
Surf Guide
Six hours drive north of Perth is Kalbarri, home to the jacking lefthander Jakes Point. Jakes is one of those idiosyncratic waves that are absolutely owned by the local surfers. Unless you're at WCT level or you've come from Teahupo'o, you won't dominate or even catch sets on a good day.( Ry Craike and Kerby Brown are two brilliant young Australian surfers who live and surf here.) But, like most reefs, Jakes breaks from two foot upwards. And the tough fishermen who populate this picturesque desert town don't wanna touch it when it gets small. Time for you -- time for me -- to shine. Have a photo for this break? Send it over!
