About this Spot

Minis is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its challenging conditions and is best suited for intermediate surfers. The waves at Minis break both left and right, providing a variety of options for surfers. The bottom is a coral reef, which can make the spot quite tricky, especially with the presence of rips and undertow. It’s important to be cautious as the waves can be very short and the area is often crowded. Localism can be an issue, so respecting the locals is crucial. Sharks are also known to inhabit the area, so surfers should be aware of their surroundings. To reach Minis, park your car at Soldiers Beach and walk north around the rocks until you see the spot just before Graves. The wave quality is generally considered sloppy, and it only breaks sometimes, so checking the surf forecast and report is advisable before heading out. The spot can be quite sucky, and it’s easy to get slammed on the reef, so checking your skills before paddling out is essential to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. The spot is crowded most of the time, so it’s important to be there early if you want to catch a wave. The paddle out can take more than 20 minutes, or you can opt to reach the spot by boat. Nearby surf spots include Norah’s Point, Soldiers, Iceys, Backdoor, and Big Bommie. Always remember to check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Respect the locals.
