Having watched a bunch of videos from NZ and Ireland, I'm looking a gently shelving beach in WA on which to learn waveriding. The vids show a lines of small, breaking or peaking waves, with flat water inbetween. They look like just the right thing for a numpty like me who has learnt strapless but never surfed, so what to do with a board on a wave is a still a bit of a mystery. Apart from the formless windwaves at Woodies Pt in the howler yesterday (which was a hoot, BTW), Perth seems to be all dumpy beach breaks and reefy stuff that freaks me out. I bogged about at Middleton Beach in Albany last summer, and thought there may be somehwere near, or far, from there, where I could scratch this itch. Thanks.

I don't think there's a way to gently shelve an entire beach... But maybe start with one with fine grain sand, not one of those corally messes

There'd be no "gently" in the same sentence as shelving a beach. FARK that.
