Surf Guide

Since Duke Kahanamoku arrived in Australia in 1914 to show off his swimmer skills and also gave a demonstration of surfing at Freshwater Beach, the popularity of surfing in Australia has grown intensively throughout the world and its 25,260 km of coastline. From its 1964 world championships, Sydney has produced an unparalleled series of talented surfers. This big city is proud of its seaside culture that dominates the Australian surf scene in many ways.

The surf beaches of Australia, on which they break exceptional waves suitable for all levels of preparation, are formed from the Pacific Ocean to the east, from the Indian to the west and from the Austral to the south. In New South Wales, Byron Bay, Newcastle, Sydney and the south coast offer the opportunity to ride extraordinary waves.

In Sydney, you can choose between beaches that are easy to reach by bus from the city center. Learn to surf at Bondi or challenge the waves at Tamarama, Bronte or Maroubra. North of the Bay Bridge, surf at Manly or dominate the waves at Queenscliff, Curl Curl, Dee Why, Narrabeen, Avalon and Palm Beach. On the Central Coast, north of Sydney, try Avoca Beach, Terrigal and Newcastle. Further north you will discover Crescent Head and the Angourie surf nature reserve before the Byron Bay breaks.
