Lighthouse in the Margarets River Area is an exposed beach and reef break that has reliable surf. Spring and Summer provide the best conditions. Works best in offshore winds from the east northeast. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the west southwest. The beach break provides left and right handers and there is also a left hand reef break.. Best around mid tide. When it's working here, it can get crowded. Submerged rocks are a hazard.
