Visitor reviews of The Three Bears surf break
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
“Bears picks up a lot of swell. If conditions look flat and winds are from the north east you could be rewarded with some great waves. Look north from Yallingup for the telltale plumes of spray lifting off the break. Can be crowded but usually breaks all day so if patient you will find a niche in the lineup among the several takeoff areas. Often best late in the day as the swell cleans up and surfers satiated from earlier sessions leave to seek food.
A high driving barrel after a launching peaky takeoff, bears can deliver everything you ever wanted from a wave in an idyllic vibey location.”
