Posties

Posties is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. This spot is known for its powerful, barreling waves that break to the right. The waves at Posties can reach up to 3 meters, making it a serious wave for surfers with intermediate experience. The surf spot is situated near a lighthouse in Port MacDonnell, and the reef here is sharp and shallow, so wearing booties is essential. South Australia is known for its shark presence, and Posties is no exception, so surfers should be cautious. The spot is also known for localism, so it’s important to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when the spot is crowded. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, and there are usually few surfers in the water, which can be a plus for those looking for less crowded conditions. Nearby surf spots include Mokes, Gates, Cape Northumberland, Yip Yip, and Browns Beach. Before heading out, it’s crucial to check your skills to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Always be prepared to paddle early to catch the wave. Remember to check the surf forecast, report, and map for the latest conditions, and if available, use a webcam to get a live view of the spot. Respect the locals.
