About this Spot

Killcare Bombie is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia, known for its challenging waves breaking over a coral reef. This spot provides both left and right waves, making it a thrilling destination for experienced surfers. The waves here can reach lengths of 50 to 150 meters, offering a quality surf experience that is often described as epic. However, the spot is not for the faint-hearted, as it is frequented by strong rips, undertows, and the presence of sea urchins and rocks. Sharks are also known to inhabit the area, adding to the level of risk. The spot is best suited for professional surfers who are comfortable with quick take-offs and the possibility of breaking boards. It is important to check the surf forecast and report before heading out, as the spot sometimes breaks and is influenced by the swell and wind direction, typically from the southwest. The crowd is generally empty, but it’s crucial to respect the locals and adhere to surf etiquette. Access to Killcare Bombie is by boat only, and surfers often park at the Bouddi camping site before making their way over the dunes to reach the shoreline. It’s advisable to have a national park sticker for parking. For those brave enough to venture out, a jetski can be towed down to the south end near Killcare Point for a less rough entry. Always check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Remember to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots.
