The Wave
This is a serious offshore big-wave setup 2 km west of Gracetown.
East wind is the clean offshore, west swell is the main signal, and low to mid tide on a falling cycle is the safer working window.

Cow Bombie
Cow Bombie is the offshore Cowaramup Bombora west of Gracetown, a legendary Margaret River big-wave reef that only wakes up on the right winter swell. It is a true offshore bombora rather than a normal shoreline break, and it has built its reputation on huge, consequential waves.
