The Zoo

The Zoo is located on Western Australia's exposed coastline, featuring a relatively straight beach break with consistent wave exposure to the Indian Ocean. The shore faces northwest, with dense forest vegetation backing the narrow sandy beach. This is an open ocean exposure spot with substantial fetch, generating regular swell. The beach is interrupted by rocky outcrops and boulder formations that create hazards for entry and exit. Wind reliability is low at 11.7%, with light average winds of 7.9 knots. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds (45°), providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. Average waves of 3.01m suggest moderate swell conditions. Water temperature averages 16.6°C, requiring a wetsuit year-round. This spot suits intermediate riders with experience in rocky beach environments and wave navigation. The combination of rough water conditions, limited safe access points, and rocky hazards demands caution. Lower wind reliability means sessions depend on favorable conditions. Local knowledge of access points and tide-dependent safety zones is essential before attempting this spot.
