Sunset Beach
Sunset Beach is Geraldton's long northern beach, a broad local surf stretch that starts near the Chapman River mouth and gets cleaner toward the north. When southwest swell and light east wind line up, it can throw up clean beach-break peaks. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Sunset Beach in Western Australia.

Lineup Guide
River-mouth access is the simplest entry, and the beach generally improves farther north when the near-town section is lumpy.
Rips around the river mouth and low-tide terrace are the main hazard, and the central-northern stretch is 4WD only.
