What's the furthest north (NW WA) that folks surf before running into Croc country or stinger country in this fine state?
Trigg point? Only secret wave on the West coast isnt it? bahahah
Look out you might not be able to ask that otherwise people might start going north taking locals waves
that's an interesting question mate, Broome can have waves on a cyclone swell but technically isn't a surf destination. I reckon Barrow Island is the most north I've surfed but personally never planned a trip further than Exmouth for a wave.
There's a few spots on the islands around dampier, but most need a decent swell to work. The place has no crocs, but is full of tiger sharks and curious bronzies more than big enough to ruin your day.
Apparently Port Hedland is getting a wave pool. I'm guessing that would be kept fairly free of crocs.
For me personally, if I'm going further north than Exmouth in search of waves you can guarantee it means I'm on a plane to another country.

You can still find crocs in Bali
You probably could build an awesome standing artificial wave using the huge tidal ranges in the North. ;)
It would have to be south of Exmouth as we have both crocs and stingers. So maybe somewhere just north of Carnarvon.
Furthest North I have had waves is karratha but you will need a boat and some serious local knowledge if you go much past Canarvon....a lot of curious wildlife around as well
