About this Spot

Nuggin is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its rocky bottom and provides both left and right waves, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The waves at Nuggin break best at low to medium tide and are very consistent, with a wave length of less than 50 meters. The spot is typically uncrowded, allowing surfers to enjoy the waves without much competition. However, it’s important to be aware of the natural hazards present at Nuggin, such as urchins, rips, and rocks. Sharks have also been spotted in the area, so it’s crucial to stay alert. The best approach is to attack the wave confidently and make the drop over the dry section. To reach Nuggin, drive into Bawley Point, go left, and park near Guillotines. From there, walk north along the beach, and you’ll find the break on the point between Latras and Guillotines. It’s well worth the 2-kilometer walk. Nearby surf spots include Guillotines, Meroo Headland Wedge, Bawley Point, Meroo Headland, and Gannet Point. When surfing at Nuggin or any other spot, always check the surf forecast and report to ensure optimal conditions. A map or webcam can be helpful for planning your session. Remember to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Before paddling out, check your skills to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level.
