Visitor reviews of Trigg Beach surf break
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
“Trigg is a decent wave. It is great for beginners but in winter can bring in some hard wind swell. Average summer swell: around 2-3 metres. On an average summer day, it will get some crowd when the sea breeze comes in in the afternoon.”

“Trigg is the most crowded break ever. At 5am there is aleady 30 guys on a peak that has a 5m take off zone and only runs for 30m anyway.
Best off jumping in the car for an hour or so and getting some proper waves elsewhere.
However, in summer it's the ONLY break in Perth.”
