WHALE CARCASS WASHED UP AT POPULAR SOUTHWEST SURF BREAK



Whale carcass reported as having washed into the surf zone, at Moses Rock Surf Spot, north of Gracetown. It is reported the carcass is approximately 12m long

The Department of Parks and Wildlife has closed beaches in the Moses Rock area for the safety of water users.

Once incident is resolved the beach and surf spot will be reopened. At this stage it is unknown when this will be. Take additional caution between Quininup and Wilyabrup, including Moses Rock Beach and Surf Spot.

It is possible the decomposing carcass will act as an attractant that could lead to sharks coming close in to shore along this stretch of coast.
