About this Spot

Wombarra Reef is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Known for its hollow and powerful waves, it breaks both left and right over a shallow rock ledge, making it an exciting spot for intermediate and experienced surfers. The reef is characterized by a rocky and sandy bottom, and it works well at all tides. The wave length is typically less than 50 meters, and it is considered a regional classic in terms of quality. Despite its potential for scoring barrels, Wombarra Reef is not heavily crowded, as many surfers tend to head to nearby Sandon Point instead. This makes it a great spot to catch some waves with only a handful of other surfers around. The main point generally favors the right, although it is not as consistent as the left. Bodyboarders and experienced surfers will find the break particularly appealing due to its shallow and heavy nature. It’s important to note that the area is known for rocks and the presence of sharks, so caution is advised. When planning a surf session, be sure to check the surf forecast and report, and consider using a shortboard to navigate the waves effectively. Nearby surf spots include Scarborough, Coledale Beach, Thommo’s, Sharkies, and Headlands. As you approach from the south, you’ll find Wombarra Reef just after the graveyard. Remember to respect the locals and always check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Respect the locals.
