Camel Rock
Edit SpotAbout
It's alltime, gnarly, sick, epic etc...
Atmosphere:
Nice break for all surfers, beautiful scenery can be sharky.
AJ:
Pretty fun wave most of the time but when it gets a good swell that's big it fires!
Additional Info:
This spot doesn’t always work properly. If it is then it is one of the best spots on the coast. At 6 foot with a west wind it can break for 1/2 a km. perfect, hollow not overly powerful unless big. Watch out because takeoff can be in front of rock. Keep car locked theft can happen. We [locals] are extremely friendly [don’t drop in] and will tell thieves to funk off if they go near your gear.

Just after Tilba heading south there is a left hand turn to Bermagui. Go down here over Wallaga lake bridge up the hill until you get to beauty point turnoff on the right. 50 m after this there is a turnoff on the left with a sign saying camel rock. Drive past first car park, around the corner up to top car park if you see the rock and supa lefts you’re there!
From a.j :
Drive north from Bermagui until you get to Wallaga lake park then keep driving north on the main road and you will see some sing post directing you to the car park and then you walk there.
