Wamberal Beach

Central Coast NSW, Australia
🌀Strong rips

A consistent beach break north of Terrigal that picks up more swell due to its open exposure. Multiple peaks along the beach offer options from mellow walls to punchier closeouts. The northern end features a reef section that can produce quality waves. Recent coastal erosion has changed the sandbars but also created some interesting new banks.
