Triangles

Triangles is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its hollow ledgey reef break and is situated on a coral reef bottom. The waves at Triangles break both left and right, with the right-handers offering a steep takeoff that peels and wraps around the reef, producing long walls. The left-handers are shorter, featuring sucky, Teahupoo-styled tubes with big spits. Occasionally, during large northeast cyclone swells, the left can extend up to 200 meters, though it is generally tamer. Triangles is ideal for intermediate surfers looking for a challenge, and it can also be suitable for big wave tow-in sessions. However, surfers should be confident in their abilities, as there is a long paddle back to shore, especially if surfing alone. The spot is relatively empty, providing an opportunity for solitude on the waves. The best conditions for surfing at Triangles occur during low tide. Surfers should be aware of the presence of sharks in the area and take necessary precautions. Access to the spot can be achieved by taking the Toukley exit on the freeway, turning right at the top, and following the road through to the end, then turning right at the roundabout and taking the first left. Nearby surf spots include JD’s Shorey, JD Reef, Rocky, Big Bommie, and Backdoor. When planning a surf session at Triangles, it’s important to check the surf forecast, report, and map to ensure optimal conditions. Additionally, surfers should respect the locals and always adhere to surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots. Before paddling out, check your skills to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
