Get ready for one of the most powerful showdowns in professional surfing as the Margaret River Pro returns to Western Australia from 16 - 26 April 2026. 

The 2026 season marks the 50th year of professional surfing, with 12 stops across nine countries. Confirmed as Stop No. 2 on the World Surf League (WSL) 2026 Championship Tour, this iconic event will once again see the world’s best surfers take on the raw energy of Margaret River’s legendary coastline.

Spectators can witness the world’s elite male and female Championship Tour surfers up close as they battle some of the most demanding waves on the planet. With over 75 major surf breaks along this rugged shoreline, Margaret River has earned its reputation as a world-class big wave destination.

Beyond the competition, the Margaret River region offers a blend of natural beauty and barefoot luxury. Between heats, explore ancient caves and towering forests, discover award-winning wineries and restaurants, or unwind on pristine beaches. Whether you’re here for the high-performance surfing, the festival atmosphere, or the unforgettable coastal experience, the Margaret River Pro delivers world-class action both in and out of the water.
