“My favorite size for Dogs Reef is when it’s 3-5 feet. This left-hand reef is one of the most entertaining waves in the area. What makes it truly special is its incredible A-frame shape, with the left delivering perfect barrels and the right offering a more mellow rippable wave. It’s this unique combination that got me hooked from the very start.”
“The real magic of Dogs Reef unfolds during the dry season, stretching from April to October. It’s during these months that the southwest swells converge with north winds, creating the ideal conditions for this reef break to turn it on.”
“As a surfer who treasures this spot deeply, I can’t wait for you to experience the magic yourself. Prepare to let Dogs Reef leave its mark on your surf trip.”

Tips from Gus Garcez, Playground Surf Resort
"I spent 8 days here with an awesome crew of friends and the outstanding coaching support of Margaret River High Performance Centre. The resort is simply stunning; the welcome from Donny and his tribe of cooks, photographers and boat crew goes well beyond anything I've experienced before. Such a great, happy, welcoming group of people. And the waves... OMG, these are world class and there are options for all levels. At least 20 surf breaks on your doorstep and local knowledge ensures that you hit the right ones according to winds, tide and swell. I'll never forget my time at Playgrounds and the wonderful people with whom I shared this experience!"
