Umina Point

Umina Point is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This surf spot is known for its right-hand wave direction and features a bottom composed of sand and rocks. Umina Point is suitable for intermediate surfers, providing a regional classic wave quality. The waves here break at all tides, but the length of the wave is typically less than 50 meters. The spot is generally empty, offering a more secluded surfing experience. Access to Umina Point can be achieved by looking out from the Umina Surf Club to the southeast, walking along the beach, or driving towards Pearl Beach where you can find a car park close to the break. It’s important to be aware of the rocks and man-made dangers such as buoys in the area. The spot doesn’t break too often, but when it does, it offers an amazing break for bodyboarders, also known as ‘eski lids’. Nearby surf spots include Ocean Beach, Umina Beach, Box Head, Killcare, and Patonga Point. When planning your surf trip, be sure to check the surf forecast, report, and map for the latest conditions, and consider using a webcam to get a live view of the waves. Remember to respect the locals, check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots, and always assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level.
