Winston Street

Winston Street is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Known for its challenging waves, this spot is ideal for intermediate surfers looking to test their skills. The waves here break left over a coral reef and sand bottom, offering a regional classic quality ride. With a wave length ranging from 50 to 150 meters, surfers can enjoy a fast and heavy wave that provides the opportunity to get into deep, long barrels. The spot is relatively uncrowded, allowing surfers to have more space to maneuver. It’s important to note that the area has rocks, and localism can be a factor, so respecting the locals and checking the surf etiquette is crucial. The best conditions for surfing at Winston Street occur with a medium tide. Surfers should be cautious of the sharp rocks and the heavy nature of the wave, which is comparable to the conditions at Wamberal. The spot is worth a paddle even in small swells, and it’s particularly popular among bodyboarders who enjoy the step down the ledge that produces nice barrels. To reach Winston Street, head north along Wamberal Beach until you find the rocks just before Spoon Bay. As always, check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Respect the locals.
