About this Spot

Yip Yip is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. This spot provides both left and right waves, making it a versatile option for surfers. The bottom is characterized by a coral reef, which can be quite shallow, so caution is advised. The waves at Yip Yip can become serious during big swells, and the right-hander is often considered the best option. The spot is suitable for intermediate surfers, and it sometimes breaks, offering wave lengths between 50 to 150 meters. The tide conditions are best at medium and high tides. Yip Yip is known for being relatively uncrowded, providing a more solitary surfing experience. Nearby surf spots include Browns Beach, Cape Northumberland, Posties, Mokes, and Gates. To reach Yip Yip, drive out of Port Macquarie (east) along Eight Mile Creek Road, and turn right onto Pebble Track on the bend just before Racecourse Bay. It’s important to check the surf forecast and report before heading out, and a map or webcam can be useful tools for planning your session. Always remember to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when a spot is crowded. Check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level.
