About this Spot

Suck Up is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its left-breaking waves that form over a sand and rock bottom, making it an interesting choice for surfers of all experience levels. The best conditions for surfing at Suck Up occur during low to medium tide, especially when there is a big northeast swell. The wave length is typically less than 50 meters, and the quality of the waves is considered normal. While the spot is generally not crowded, it can become packed during the summer months with 20 to 30 surfers in the lineup. The atmosphere at Suck Up is generally good, but localism can be an issue, especially with a group of local bodyboarders who are known to be territorial. It’s important to respect the locals and follow surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. The best time to surf here is early in the morning when the swell is up, the tide is low, and the water is calm. To reach Suck Up, park at the entrance of Forresters Beach. If you’re at the south entrance, look north to spot the left-breaking wave on the right-hand side of a rock ledge. If you’re at the north entrance, look straight ahead. Nearby surf spots include Winston Street, Rights, Lefts, Banzai, and Perfects. Before heading out, check the surf forecast, report, and map to ensure the conditions are suitable for your skill level. Remember to check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Respect the locals.
