About this Spot

Crosswaves is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its powerful right-hand waves that break over a coral reef. The wave quality is considered world-class, making it an attractive destination for intermediate to experienced surfers. Crosswaves can handle massive swells from the south to northeast, requiring bigger boards for optimal performance. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, providing ample opportunity for surfers to enjoy a thrilling ride. The spot is generally uncrowded, allowing for a more relaxed surfing experience. The best conditions occur when an east to northeast swell pushes through, creating a powerful right that peels along the reef. It’s important to note the presence of rocks and urchins, which can pose hazards to surfers. Access to Crosswaves is via Newport Beach, where you can park and walk to the south end of the beach. From there, you should see the waves breaking about 150 meters out from a rock platform. Surfers should check their skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match their level. Additionally, it’s crucial to respect the locals and adhere to surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots. Always keep an eye on the surf forecast and report to plan your session accordingly. Remember to check the map and webcam for real-time conditions. Respect the locals.
