About this Spot

Dolphins Point is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its challenging waves and is situated near the coastal town of Ulladulla, which is part of the City of Shoalhaven. Ulladulla is approximately 230 kilometers south of Sydney and is known for its scenic coastline and proximity to other surf spots like Potholes, Wairo Point, North Tabourie, Racecourse Reef, and Flat Rock. Dolphins Point offers both left and right waves, making it a versatile spot for experienced surfers. The waves here are heavy and powerful, breaking over a coral reef bottom, which can be hazardous. The surf quality is considered a regional classic, and the spot is known for its very consistent wave frequency. The wave length is typically less than 50 meters, and the spot is generally uncrowded. Due to the presence of rocks and urchins, as well as the potential for shark sightings, it is recommended for professional surfers only. The best conditions are during medium tide, and surfers should be cautious of being washed onto the rocks if caught inside a set. It is important to check the surf forecast and report before heading out, and to be aware of the surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots. Always check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
