North Avoca

North Avoca is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This surf spot is known for its multiple breaks and is considered a regional classic. The beach features both left and right waves, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The bottom is a mix of sand and rocks, and the waves are consistent, with lengths ranging from 50 to 150 meters. North Avoca can be dangerous when the swell is over six feet, especially on a south swell, so it’s important to be cautious and watch out for the fat rock near the point. There’s a good reef around the corner of the point, known as the back reef, and a good break in the center of the beach at low tide. The spot is generally not crowded, but it’s important to check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots and to respect the locals. The surf spot is accessible by bus from Terrigal and Gosford via Erina, and there are multiple car parks and public access points near the shore. The North Avoca Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) provides amenities such as toilets and showers, and there’s a cafe/shop across the road. When visiting, be sure to check your skills before paddling out to ensure that the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
