Nielsen's Beach

Edit Spot
About

Its not worth a surf trip just for the waves, but the waves are good enough to keep you in shape for surfing other spots with more swell.

Atmosphere:
The locals here a pretty chilled, but have respect if there is some swell. It doesn't come too often so it can get pretty intense with a lot more people in the water. In summer there are heaps of kooks and clubbies. Bring your skatey, there's a sweet mini ramp next to the beach.

Additional Info:
Works best in a cyclone swell or if there is a clean day after a howlng easterly. If there is some swell there are some nice rights off the breakwall.
