About this Spot

Suck Rock is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Known for its rocky outcrops, this spot is a favorite among bodyboarders seeking good times. The surf spot features both left and right waves, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The bottom is composed of coral reef, and the best conditions occur during medium and high tides. Suck Rock is a regional classic with very consistent wave frequency, although the wave length is less than 50 meters. The spot is generally empty, with only a few local bodyboarders and occasional surfers. On a good day, you might encounter 7 or 8 people in the water, with onlookers gathering around the jump-off point. Accessing the spot involves a fair paddle, taking about 5 minutes from the beach or 1 minute from the rocks. However, caution is advised as surfing at too low a tide can result in grazed fingers and potential damage to surfboards and wetsuits. The best time to surf is when high tide is around 6 o’clock, offering the chance of onshore winds with great little pits or sections to boost off. Nearby spots include Scotts Head, Grassy Head, Black Rock, Nambucca Heads, and Valla Beach. It’s important to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Always assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level.
