Hi sup fans heading to Exmouth in 3 weeks just thought I would post to see if anybody had a good few spots to try. Cannot wait to go!!!

Thanks tripped out I thought as much but I am bound to that time with the kids and schools holidays well nephew only.
I have a whopper and a jimmy quad 9.1 love both those boards.
I have hired a boat for the trip up there so I will find some surf some where.
Cheers for the info though it will get me started.

Used to tow a boat up there every couple of years to go fishing. Second longest reef system in the world and unlike the GBR is really close to shore. surf everywhere if youve got a boat. I reiterate what kakkerlak said, this is some seriously sharky water. I have been chased out of the water diving at the murions by a 4 metre tiger shark, and dont recall ever not seeing a shark when out there. Be ultra cautious, the positive is that the waters are so fish rich up there, you would have to think that the sharks arent all that hungry. There is a huge bombie about 5 nautical miles beteen the tip of the gulf and the southern tip of the murion islands. Ive almost come a cropper there in a boat as i was confronted by a set of four 8 to 10 foot waves. there are also heaps of waves on the outside of the reef from tantabiddy boat ramp down. take your trolling gear and sit on the edge of the outside reef. Its mackerel tuna and queenfish city. all along this edge are miles and miles of unsurfed waves breaking on the western edge of the ningaloo reef. awesome potential to score unsurfed unnamed waves all the way down to coral bay. Youll just need some serious balls though to risk all the biteys.

Went there a few yrs back and surfed an island chain off shore the montibellos had some of the best waves of my life like indo surfed a 7 hour session was to good to come in!! Yeah there's a few sharks but they are so well feed you don't have to worry ... We had GT swimming under us in the surf and lost heaps of fishing to sharks but surfing was fine . Good luck

Hey Junoj, heading up to Exy on Saturday for a week of fishing and Sup ( and poss. some cyclone ducking !!). The track from the Lighthouse road out to the wreck has some great fun waves that are easily accessable from shore.
Been up there heaps over the years, and seen plenty of sharks, but unless you have a fish on a line, they don't seem too interested. Good luck !

Hi Junoj,

I go up to Ningaloo/Exmouth every winter. It's a sensational playground for all water activities. I surf, SUP, Spearfish, Freedive, Skurf, fish, and Kite the Reef. The others are right, there are literally hundreds of sharks every kilometer but they are rarely interested in anyone but spearo's and lino's.

Plenty of outstanding waves and a few of world class quality. Best bet is to talk to Scotty and Emma of Ningaloo kiteboarding, he can give you the skinny on the do's and don'ts of Sup in Exxy. Send him a PM on SB, his username is Turtlehunter. I believe Dunes is a "don't" although it would be a wicked SUP wave.

Have fun, don't worry about the noah's, just don't sup around with a line off the back of your board with a dead chicken and trails of tuna blood and you should be right.

Drive up to the lighthouse and have a good look around, it should give you a couple of ideas, if there is any swell around.

I've been out at Dunes and no probs, seemed the same as any other break where reasonably sane people enjoy themselves surfing. Of course there will always be exceptions no matter how hard you try, especially with a mix of annoyed locals and greedy travellers. As pickers said - respect.

There is another break at Hunters Beach which is pretty good for SUP as well.

Both breaks are well known so expect that if a wave is running then there will be people out.

Lucky you and Good Luck!

Thanks for all the info guys sounds like it is going to be awesome.
Chicken sticks I have been meaning to get down with you guys with your down winders for a while now and Galvo has been on my case about it.
Let me know how your trip went and I will get down to one of those Sunday's with you and I will even bring the refreshments.
