About this Spot

Ladies is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Known for its rocky bottom, this spot is best surfed at low tide when the waves break on three separate rock shelves. It is a big wave spot, capable of holding waves over 15 feet, making it a challenge for even experienced surfers. The wave direction is predominantly right, and the spot is considered a regional classic due to its consistent wave quality. Despite its potential size, Ladies is suitable for surfers of all levels, though it’s important to check your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing ability. The waves here are less than 50 meters in length, and the spot is known for having few surfers, especially if you hit the waves early on weekdays. Located near Merewether Beach, you can find Ladies by driving past the local café and spotting the rocky area. Nearby surf spots include Pogos, Bombie, Dixon Park, Bar Beach Newcastle, and Bar Reef.
