Moon Island

Moon Island is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is primarily suited for bodyboarders, but it is still surfable for those who are interested. The waves here are known for being heavy and hollow, with plenty of sections that can produce barrels on a good day. The wave direction is predominantly right, breaking over a coral reef bottom. The best conditions for surfing at Moon Island are during low to medium tides. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, making it a world-class quality spot for intermediate surfers. One of the unique aspects of Moon Island is its relative isolation and lack of crowds. To access this surf spot, it is recommended to take a boat from Swansea Channel and look for an island about a kilometer away to the right. For those who are really keen, it is possible to paddle for about 10-15 minutes from the breakwater. Nearby surf spots include Blacksmiths Beach, Frenchmans Reef, Crabbes Creek, Maneela, and Frenchmans Beach. When planning a surf trip to Moon Island, it is important to check the surf forecast, report, and map to ensure optimal conditions. Additionally, surfers should be mindful of the surf etiquette, especially when surfing crowded spots, and always check their skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit their surfing level.
