Camel Rock

Wallaga Lake, Australia
🦈Sharks🪨Rocks🌀Strong rips

Rock-controlled left over sand that, at 6 ft with a W wind, can run half a kilometre - one of the best on the coast when it's on, but doesn't always work. Take-off can be in front of the rock. (Sand-bottom - include/exclude to taste.). It works best on a SE swell with WNW winds. Watch for: rips, rock at take-off, car theft, sharks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Camel Rock?

The Camel Rock profile does not specify a preferred tide stage. That does not mean tide has no effect: check local conditions alongside swell and wind.

What wind direction is offshore at Camel Rock?

The Camel Rock profile uses wind from WNW (290°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 245° to 335°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Camel Rock?

The Camel Rock scoring profile favors swell from SE (80° to 190°), a swell-height range of 0.6m to 3.3m, and a reference period of 13s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.

When is the best time of year to surf Camel Rock?

The main season at Camel Rock is Mar-Sep.

How do I get to Camel Rock?

The spot profile lists MIM as a nearby airport. The estimated road transfer is 65 minutes.
