About this Spot

Razors is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its challenging waves, often compared to a smaller version of Shark Island. The wave breaks on a bombie when the swell is 3ft or more, providing an easier start into the wave. The main section of the wave is less than a foot deep, making it a popular spot for bodyboarders. However, the wave can be quite testing, with only one take-off spot, which can lead to crowded conditions. The wave direction is right, and it breaks over a coral reef bottom. The ideal tide for surfing at Razors is medium to high. The wave quality is considered a regional classic, suitable for intermediate surfers. The wave length is less than 50 meters, and the spot is generally not crowded. Razors is also known by the alternative name BUTTONS reef and has been featured in Riptide Bodyboarding Magazine. To reach Razors, take a turn on the Pacific Highway at Yamba, drive up to the pub on the top of the hill, and park your car at the end of the street. From there, walk down the track along the point. The spot is located near other surf spots such as Turners Beach, Pippies, Iluka, Iluka Bluff, and Angourie Point. It’s important to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Always check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Remember to include keywords like surf, surfing, spot, forecast, report, map, and webcam when searching for more information about Razors. Respect the locals.
