About this Spot

Lady Jane Bay is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its right-hand wave direction, breaking over a coral reef bottom. The waves here are fast and fun, making it an exciting spot for intermediate surfers. The wave length is typically less than 50 meters, and it sometimes breaks, so checking the surf forecast and report is essential before heading out. The area is quite isolated, with an empty crowd, providing a more private surfing experience. However, surfers should be cautious of the rocks, urchins, and the presence of sharks in the area. To reach Lady Jane Bay, you can go to Camp Cove near Watsons Bay, then walk along the path to the nude beach and continue along the rocks. It’s important to note that the area can feel a bit spooky, and there have been reports of inappropriate behavior on the nude beach, so be aware of your surroundings. Accessing the surf spot requires a paddle of more than 20 minutes or arriving by boat. Nearby surf spots include Vaucliff Reef, Shakespeares Point, Vaucluse Bay, Castle Rock, and Washaway. Surfers should always check their skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match their surfing level. Additionally, it’s crucial to respect the locals and follow surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots. Remember to use the right surfboard for the conditions, such as a shortboard or a mid-length board, depending on the wave size and your skill level. Respect the locals.
