About this Spot

Scotts Head is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This coastal village is part of the Nambucca Valley local government area, situated on the Mid North Coast. The surf spot is known for its right-handed surf breaks, making it a popular destination for intermediate surfers. The waves here are very consistent, with a length ranging from 50 to 150 meters. The bottom is rocky, so surfers often jump off the rocks to avoid tiring themselves out against the rip. The spot is relatively uncrowded, providing ample space for surfers to enjoy the waves. Nearby surf spots include Suck Rock, Grassy Head, Black Rock, Nambucca Heads, and Valla Beach. Scotts Head is accessible from the Pacific Highway, approximately 480 kilometers from Sydney. The area offers a choice of two beaches: Little or Back Beach, and the main beach stretching to the mouth of the Nambucca River. Surfers should be aware of the rips and undertow present at the spot. It’s important to check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Additionally, always check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Respect the locals.
