About this Spot

Rights is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Known for its challenging conditions, this spot is not for the faint-hearted and is best suited for experienced surfers. The break is situated about 600 meters offshore, requiring a paddle out from the beach that takes at least 10 to 15 minutes. The waves at Rights are heavy and can reach up to 30 feet, making it one of the heaviest breaks on the central coast, and possibly the entire east coast. The wave direction is right, and the bottom consists of rocks and sand. The spot works best at medium to high tide, and the wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters. Due to its challenging nature, the spot is rarely crowded, providing ample space for those who dare to take on its powerful waves. However, localism can be an issue, so it’s important to respect the locals and adhere to surf etiquette. The area is known for its shark presence, so surfers should remain vigilant. Parking is available at the main carpark at Forresters Beach. Before heading out, it’s crucial to check your skills to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. The nearby spots include Lefts, Banzai, Suck up, Winston Street, and Perfects. Always remember to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level.
