Cyclops, Western Australia

cyclops.jpgKnown for the extreme heavy and probably the thickest lips on the planet, Cyclops is located in Western Australia off the Esperance coast - around seven hours from Perth. As it is not viable to scull into getting on a surfboard too and it can only be accessed by vessel, Cyclops is not much an apt option to surf at. It’s perhaps not largely because the inconvenience cause to surfers,

Cyclops is whispered as one of the most dangerous waves in the world for some other reasons as well.

This gnarly wave ranks on the top in terms of fast, powerful and hollow wave. That’s the reason why it is quite the least surfed wave that is worth to be mentioned here. Even veteran surfers tend to settle on body-boards because the way it breaks against the shallow rocks is really horrifying when one thinks of surfing there. If one blows such a monster wave off the Cyclops, he is likely to sponge down at once onto the dry rocks. Most of all, the evil thing that would happen is far-off, around six hours distance, nearest medical facilities he will have to travel to in case of any misfortune.

It is really hard to predict the wave and when these massive swells tip over, they literally blast onto the jagged coral reef. It’s not easy to board the monster there, even if you find the way on, it is possibly going to crash followed by a brutal smash by the hollow and deadly reef below. The outsized rocks and in the sticks locality make Cyclops’ more wicked waves and so also the surf spot.

Being such a dangerous wave, the North Shore’s veteran - Ken Bradshaw had refused to embark upon the Cyclops when he once visited the wave with the celebrated Billabong Odyssey team.
