whats the surf like in perth?

hello,im thinking of emigrating out to perth, and was hoping there would be some surfers on here that could give me some advice on the best beaches for surfing in the perth area? have heard there are some quality breaks, any advice would be cool, thanks

Surfing locally is a very big sport., but the metro area only offers regular shore breaks ; for the best breaks kids drive 3-4 hours south to margaret-river (biggg' stuff = if you want to be seriously scared) remember that we have what is called the sea' breeze' (south-westerly-wind) and it can scream in at 10-15-20-25 knots and more., so the same people whose surfing has been blown out... go kite-surfing., people come from all over the world to kite surf at out local beaches (the only warm water ocean current in the southern hemesphere) kite surfing has mostly displaced wind-surfing these days - John Scarborough Beach WA = perhaps see also (it may contribute something) ? brisbane or perth?
