From Kalbarri down to Northampton, vivid red and yellow sandstone bluffs meet the Indian Ocean making access a hassle and reducing surf potential. Port Gregory has some wind-exposed reef and beachbreak, while Bowes River near Northampton is a great spot to camp for a few days and surf the rivermouth peaks or the offshore reefs of Horrocks and Camel. It's consistent, and the mixed sand and reef breaks are not too heavy.
A guided 4WD tour around here will undoubtedly uncover some other good spots, off the sealed road. Really sharky out on the fringing reef though.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
