Tarcoola Beach

Tarcoola Beach is Geraldton's southern surf beach, a long city-side shoreline where the waves sit between sandy beachbreak and light reef influence. It is the place locals go when the reefs and heavier spots do not suit, and it still throws up a proper session when southwest swell meets a clean northeast wind. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Tarcoola Beach in Western Australia.

The Wave

NE to east-northeast is the clean offshore lane.

Southwest swell is the main trigger, and the stretch works across low, mid and high tide with a slight preference for the rising tide.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The beach can get crowded, and the main hazards are close-outs, uneven reef and the usual Geraldton rocks and rips.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
