About this Spot

Bar Beach North Narooma is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its powerful waves that can appear suddenly, making it a thrilling destination for surfers. The beach features a sandy bottom and offers both left and right waves, which can be enjoyed by intermediate and professional surfers. The waves here have a regular frequency and can range in length from 50 to 150 meters. Surfing at Bar Beach North Narooma is possible at all tides, but surfers should be cautious of the rips, undertow, and rocks in the area.
