Terrigal Haven
Edit SpotAbout
Great place to surf, be sure of your skill though. very long wave as well, has been known to break up to 900m!
Atmosphere:
One of the funniest thing about surfing here is watching people trying to rock off particularly on big days, if you are not local and not !))% sure of where to rock off take my advice and paddle from the boat ramp. it will save you a lot of pain and a lot of embarrassment.
Additional Info:
Better during the winter months, still can turn on in summer
Has 3 main sections the first 2 need a SE swell while the outside section works on a E swell. The Take off is very sketchy and best left for Locals.
