Blowies

Blowies is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its rocky terrain, featuring a hard rocky reef and boulders, which can make entry and exit challenging. Surfers often use a rock jump to get into the water. The waves at Blowies provide both left and right rides, making it suitable for intermediate surfers who are looking for a regional classic experience. The wave quality is best at low and medium tides, and the spot is known for producing long barrels when conditions align. However, it tends to blow out when the swell reaches 3 feet or above. The surf spot is relatively empty, offering a more solitary experience compared to crowded beaches. Surfers should be cautious of the presence of sharks in the area and take care to avoid being washed onto the rocks. Access to Blowies requires a long walk around two points, as there is no car access directly to the spot. Nearby surf spots include Blacks, Jucy, Gannet Point, Bawley Point, and Guillotines. When planning a surf session at Blowies, it’s important to check the surf forecast and report to ensure optimal conditions. A map and webcam can also be useful tools for assessing the surf before making the trek. Remember to check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Respect the locals and always be mindful of surf etiquette, especially when surfing in more crowded spots.
