About this Spot

Tura Reef is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its left-breaking waves over a coral reef bottom, making it a challenging destination for experienced surfers. The wave quality is considered epic, but it only breaks sometimes, so checking the surf forecast and report is essential before heading out. The wave length is less than 50 meters, and the spot is usually empty, providing a solitary surfing experience. Tura Reef is not suitable for beginners due to its rocky conditions and the fact that it becomes unsurfable at low tide, as the waves suck up dry. It’s important to approach this spot with caution, as it requires a small bush walk followed by a climb down a rock and bush face to access the surf. Nearby surf spots include Merimbula Bar, Wallagoot, Pambula Rivermouth, Tathra, and Asling’s Beach, which can offer alternative surfing options. When visiting Tura Reef, it’s crucial to respect the locals and follow surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots. Always check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. For those interested in exploring the area, a map and webcam can provide additional insights into the current surf conditions. Remember, surfing at Tura Reef requires a high level of expertise, so be prepared and stay safe.
