About this Spot

Blacks is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Known for its challenging waves, Blacks offers a right-hand wave that breaks over a coral reef. The wave quality is considered a regional classic, making it a sought-after destination for intermediate surfers. The wave length is typically less than 50 meters, and the spot is known for its intense take-off leading into a hardcore barrel. Surfers should be cautious of the shallow reef, as getting caught inside can be dangerous. It’s important to note the presence of rocks and the potential for sharks in the area. The spot is relatively uncrowded, providing a sense of solitude, but surfers are advised not to surf alone due to the remote location and potential hazards. To reach Blacks, head to Pebbly Beach and walk north along the coast for about 45 minutes until you pass a small inlet; Blacks is the next point on the right.
