About this Spot

Redhead is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Known for its consistent surf conditions, Redhead picks up the most swell in the area and is particularly clean in the northeast seabreeze. The main beach at Redhead, which includes both Little Beach and Big Beach, can become crowded, but surfers can find a peak to themselves by walking further down the beach or using a 4WD to access more remote areas. The beach features a sandy bottom and offers both left and right waves, making it suitable for surfers of all levels. The waves are generally less than 50 meters in length, and the spot is frequented by a few surfers. Access to Redhead is convenient from the Pacific Highway, with clear signage leading to the main beach. Additional parking is available to the south of Redhead for those looking to explore the beach breaks further down the coast. Nearby surf spots include Dudley Beach, Leggy Point, Maneela, Moon Island, and Blacksmiths Beach. While Redhead is open to all, it is important to respect the local surf community, as the area is known for its strong sense of localism. Surfers should check their skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match their level. Additionally, it is crucial to observe surf etiquette, especially when surfing crowded spots. Respect the locals.
