About this Spot

Corby’s Left is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Known for its left-hand wave direction, the spot features a combination of sand and rocky bottom, making it a regional classic for intermediate surfers. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, providing consistent surf conditions that attract those looking for a challenge. The spot is relatively empty, offering a peaceful escape for surfers willing to make the journey. To reach Corby’s Left, drive four hours south of Brisbane, take the Wooli turn off, and follow the signs to Minnie Water. After passing the caravan park, head to the headland, where a 4×4 track will lead you 400 meters to a parking area. From there, walk down the stairs to access the surf spot. The best conditions occur at medium to high tide, and the spot is known for its epic barrels and cutback sections. It’s recommended to bring a 6’2″ board and a mini gun for the best experience. While the spot is a great escape, surfers should be aware of localism and the presence of sharks. Always respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Make sure to check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Nearby surf spots include Minnie Waters, Turtles, Sandon River, Corindi Beach, and Arrawarra Point. Respect the locals.
