Back Beach is a surf spot located in West Australia, Australia. This spot is known for its sandy bottom and provides both left and right waves, making it accessible for surfers of all levels. The waves at Back Beach are generally less than 50 meters in length, and the spot can be surfed at all tides. The crowd is usually light, with only a few surfers present, which can be appealing for those looking to avoid crowded conditions. However, it’s important to be aware of localism, as some surfers may be territorial about this spot. The surf quality is considered normal, and it can be a fun place to surf, especially after a small swell when the sandbanks are still present.

When visiting Back Beach, it’s advisable to ask a local for directions to the surf lifesaving club or head to ‘BP Tarcoola’ on the highway and keep taking left turns.
