About this Spot

Mckenzies is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This beach break offers both left and right waves, making it accessible to surfers of all levels. The spot has a sandy bottom and works best at low to medium tides. The wave quality is considered a regional classic, with a regular frequency and a length of less than 50 meters. The crowd is typically few, providing a more relaxed surfing experience. Mckenzies is situated 15 minutes south along George Bass Drive from Batemans Bay, just past Malua Bay. Nearby surf spots include Malua Bay, Mosquito Bay Bommie, Rooster Tail, Broulee North, and Pink Rocks. Parking can be challenging during the summer months, so plan accordingly. The spot is known for rips and undertow, and localism can be an issue, so it’s important to respect the locals. Sharks have been spotted in the area, so stay vigilant. The wave is best suited for stand-up and mal riders, while bodyboarders might prefer the reefs in Durras and Bawley. Always check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots, and check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Respect the locals.
