Western Australia Margaret River Pro

Get set for the Western Australia Margaret River Pro 2026

The Western Australia Margaret River Pro is one of only three Australian events on the World Surf League (WSL) World Championship Tour, and your chance to watch the world's best surfers in action! 

The 2026 season marks the 50th year of professional surfing, featuring 12 stops across nine countries, including a refreshed format, an expanded women’s field, and an all-in Pipe Masters finale. A Margaret River, with its powerful and unpredictable waves, continues to play a key role in shaping the World Title race.

Spectators can watch all the action live and free at Surfers Point, with the bulk of the competition taking place on Main Break and The Box.  The event hub has a true festival vibe with big screens showing replays, expert commentary, food trucks and merchandise stands. But best of all, it's a chance for young (and not so young) groms to get up close and personal with their surfing idols.
