About this Spot

Steele’s break is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its left-hand waves breaking over a combination of rocks and sand, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The surf spot is accessible by following signs from Jervis Bay to Murrays Beach, followed by a 5-minute walk along a track to the beach and another 5-minute walk to the point. Entering from the rocks offers the shortest paddle, though it can be sketchy, while paddling from the beach is safer but longer. Steele’s break is characterized by its sloppy wave quality, with waves sometimes breaking and reaching lengths of less than 50 meters. The spot is typically empty, providing a quiet surfing experience. Surfers should be aware of rips and undertow, and the presence of rocks. Additionally, the area is known to have sharks, so caution is advised. It’s important to respect the local environment, as Bowen Island is a sanctuary and should be avoided. Surfers should check their skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match their surfing level. Always check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Respect the locals.
