Hi all!

My partner and I have recently taken up longboarding over the past few months and are having so much fun! I wanted to pick some brains about spots and locations around the Illawarra and South Coast as this is our local area.

Currently we know a few good spots such as
The Farm (Good but busy)
South end of Bulli Beach (Short lefts/rights)

I've heard Barrack Point is also good, being able to ride waves in towards the bridge? But we haven't been yet and I'm unsure of the best conditions to go, swell, wind, tide etc. I can't post links imgur.com/a/1I5Pkiv

We're heading down to Broulee to hit up some beaches so I thought I'd try post here first to hopefully get some insights around surfing spots for longboarding, swell direction, wind, tide in those locations too.

I fully understand people like keeping locations secret to stop out of towners, what we're really looking for is known spots to the general public that we can enjoy some long smooth waves on and hopefully hang five (yeah right!).

Cheers
Dan

Everywhere is too busy now days sorry I don't know anywhere

I mean that's fine, it is what it is.

We've always been in to body surfing so it wasn't ever an issue then either.

Let me know when you find some

Good longboard club at Gerroa. Last Sunday of the month. 7am start wind and swell permitting. Nice bunch except for Gilligan (joking .... or am I ... nudge nudge). I remember when I was a youngster many years ago we would head down the coast and drive down just about every road and track exploring.

In a nutshell there are no friendly spots well here anyway it's did eat dog with a long pecking order
