About this Spot

Caves Point is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its both left and right waves, providing a versatile surfing experience. The bottom is a mix of coral reef and sand, which contributes to the wave quality, classified as a regional classic. It’s a spot that caters to intermediate surfers due to its challenging conditions. The waves at Caves Point are very consistent, with lengths ranging from 50 to 150 meters. Despite its quality, the spot is often empty, offering a more solitary surfing experience. However, surfers should be cautious of the rips and undertow, as well as the rocks that can be found in the area. Localism is present, so it’s important to respect the locals and adhere to surf etiquette, especially when surfing crowded spots. Parking is available at Caves car park, and from there, surfers can easily access the spot. The best conditions occur with offshore winds, which can produce some of the hollowest barrels around. Surfers should keep an eye out for Cudgee heads sticking out of the water. Nearby surf spots include Frenchmans Beach, Crabbes Creek, Frenchmans Reef, Moon Island, and Blacksmiths Beach. It’s crucial to check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Remember to respect the locals.
