The Ally

The Ally is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Known for its right-hand wave direction, The Ally features a coral reef bottom and is suitable for surfing at all tides. This spot is considered a regional classic, offering waves that sometimes break, making it ideal for intermediate surfers. The wave length is less than 50 meters, and the spot is typically not crowded, with only a few surfers present. The Ally is more popular among bodyboarders due to its short and sucky waves, which are best suited for bodyboarding on smaller days. On bigger days and higher tides, it becomes surfable for traditional surfers. The spot is located between South Cronulla and North Cronulla, breaking towards the North Cronulla side. Parking is available at the wall, and from there, you can look towards the baths to spot the waves. Be cautious of the occasional current that can pull you towards the right, and avoid getting too deep to prevent potential trouble. The wave has good form and can get hollow, making it a predictable spot for those familiar with reef breaks. Nearby surf spots include Cronulla, The Wall, Braymains, Cronulla Pools, and Cronulla Point. When visiting The Ally, it is important to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots. Always assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Remember to check the surf forecast, report, map, and webcam for the latest conditions. Respect the locals.
