Mona Vale

Mona Vale is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Known for its fast and hollow right-hand wave called the Rip Bowl, this spot is favored by both bodyboarders and stand-up surfers. The waves at Mona Vale break over a sand and rock bottom and can be surfed at all tides. The spot offers both left and right waves, making it a versatile location for surfers. However, it is best suited for intermediate surfers due to its regional classic wave quality and the need for the right banks with a good northeast swell and offshore winds. The waves here are less than 50 meters in length, and the spot can get crowded, so it’s important to check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Mona Vale is easily accessible from Sydney; just drive north until you reach the BP/Mobil service stations, turn right, and go straight. Nearby surf spots include Bongin Bongin Bay, Warriewood, Bungan, Turrimetta, and North Narrabeen Point. As with any surf spot, it’s crucial to check your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
