Sandon Point NEW A lot of the surfspots in Australia are easily accessible, but many are not and some surf spots still remain secret. You can spend months travelling around this huge island surfing somewhere different every day. You may even be lucky enough to find out of the way locations which have never been surfed before. If you are interested in Facts about Australia and
about To start this surfing Australia section let's take a look at New South Wales. Which is Australia's most populated state with over 6.2 million people and over 2,000 kilometers of surfable coastline to explore. New South Wales - Region by Region There are 5 different regions along the coast. Which are the South Coast which starts from the Victoria and New South Wales border and goes north to Sydney, the Central Coast which is from Sydney to Newcastle. From Newcastle to Port Macquarie is known as the the Lower North Coast. Port macquarie to Grafton is the Mid North Coast and from Grafton up to Tweed Heads, or the NSW-Queensland borders is known as the Far North coast. The south coast region still has many secret surf spots. The very southern region is mostly undeveloped and has small coastal towns some being quite isolated. Places such as Ulla Dulla, Merimbular, Jarvis Bay have some of the more well known breaks. Further north from Shell Harbour to Wollongong there are some classic point and reef breaks including Sandon Point and Boneyards holding over 12 feet when the southern swells roll in and the off-shore wind in August start to blow.
The South Coast finishes at Sydney. Sydney's localism is one of the biggest hazards of surfing here. It goes without mentioning surf breaks such as Bondi, Narabeen, Manly, Ferry Bower and the infamous Shark Island are all in the Sydney beaches area. Sydney weather report and forecast
North of Sydney is the Central Coast region home to breaks such as Avoca Beach, Soldiers Beach and the home of Mark Richards, Newcastle. Some areas in this region are also quite difficult to get to, but the area has become much more populated and it won't be long before all surf spots in this region are discovered. This area is far enough south to pick up the remnants of some of the bigger swells coming from the south.
The Mid North Coast has some classic breaks such as Cresent Head, Saltwater point, Scotts Head and the beaches and headlands of Coffs Harbour. This area has some lesser known surf breaks such as Seal Rocks and Hawks Nest. Many beaches in this region are difficult to access without a 4-wheel drive, but are definitely worth exploring.

The Far North Coast is the most northern region of New South Wales and is home to many world class surfing breaks. Some of the better known surfing spots are Ballina, Angourie Point, Lennox Head, Broken Head, The Pass and Tallows at Byron Bay. Being world class surf breaks and better known makes the locals in these areas sometimes difficult to deal with. In the northern cyclone season these areas can get quite big.
