About this Spot

Gull Rock is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. This spot provides both left and right waves, making it suitable for surfers of all levels. The bottom is rocky, so it’s important to be cautious and aware of your surroundings. The best time to surf here is during high tide when the waves are at their peak quality, which is considered a regional classic. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, and the spot is known for having few surfers, allowing for a more relaxed experience. Nearby surf spots include Moana Beach, Seaford Reef, 3 Poles Reef, Southport, and Myponga. When visiting Gull Rock, it’s advisable to lock your car and keep your car key secure, either on a wetsuit string or around your neck. Be mindful of the rocks, as some may protrude and pose a hazard to both you and your board. The spot is known to hold waves up to 6-7 feet during a good groundswell, and it can glass off beautifully with light southeast winds. To reach Gull Rock, drive past Maslins Beach towards Port Willunga, taking the first and only road on the right-hand side. Alternatively, you can park at a nearby cafe and walk down the beach, where you’ll find a reef break on the way. Remember to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when the spot is crowded.
