The wave quality is considered normal, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The waves break regularly and can range in length from 50 to 150 meters. The spot is known for being uncrowded, providing a more solitary surfing experience. Nearby surf spots include Waitups, Damo’s Bay, Sheep Creek, Parsons, and Waitpinga. The beach is visually appealing, with options for hollow beach breaks and some reef at one end. However, surfers should be aware of rips and undertows, and the presence of sharks in the area. Accessing Tunkalilla involves a bumpy road and a fair walk down a big hill, so it’s important to save some energy for the walk back up. You can see the beach from the hill, which offers a great view. Always check the surf forecast and report before heading out, and consider using a map or webcam to get a sense of the current conditions. Remember to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when the spot is crowded. It’s crucial to check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level.
