About this Spot

Camel Rock is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This surf spot is known for its unique rock formations and scenic beauty. The waves at Camel Rock can be both left and right, making it suitable for surfers of varying skill levels. The bottom consists of sand and rocks, which can affect the wave quality and require surfers to be cautious. The spot works best with a west wind and can produce waves up to 6 feet, breaking for up to half a kilometer. However, the surf conditions are not always consistent, so it’s important to check the surf forecast and report before heading out. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, and the spot is not usually crowded, offering a more relaxed surfing experience. Surfers should be aware of potential rips and undertows, as well as the presence of sharks in the area. It’s crucial to lock your car and keep an eye on your belongings, as theft can occur. The locals are friendly and will look out for fellow surfers, but it’s important to respect the surf etiquette and not drop in on others. Camel Rock is accessible by driving north from Bermagui and following the signs to the car park. Once there, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and the surf. Remember to check your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
