About this Spot

Sheep Creek is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. The spot provides both left and right waves. The bottom is sandy, and it is best surfed at low and medium tides. The wave quality is considered normal, making it suitable for surfers of all levels. The spot is known for its very consistent wave frequency, with wave lengths typically less than 50 meters. Sheep Creek is usually uncrowded, providing a more relaxed surfing experience. Nearby surf spots include Damo’s Bay, Parsons, Waitups, Waitpinga, and Tunkalilla. To reach Sheep Creek, you can find the Waitping road, which is well signed. Continue past the Parson’s Beach turnoff for another 5 km. The turnoff is at a right-hand bend. Don’t follow the tarred Waitpinga road; go straight onto the dirt road called Bullaparada Rd. This road winds to a dead end at a locked farmer’s gate. From there, climb over the fence and choose either the left or right side of the gully to walk down. You will jump over three more barbed wire fences before reaching the beach, which is about 2 km away. It’s important to take water and food with you, as there are no facilities nearby. Be cautious of the cows in the area, as they have been known to eat unattended food. Additionally, be aware of the presence of big brown snakes in the area. When visiting, remember not to leave valuables in your car and to be polite if you encounter the farmer. Always take your rubbish with you. Respect the locals. Check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. It’s also important to check the surf etiquette when a spot is crowded.
