About this Spot

PJ is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its challenging conditions, making it suitable for experienced surfers. The waves here break both left and right over a coral reef, providing a thrilling experience for those who are up for the challenge. The best time to surf at PJ is during low to medium tide, and the spot can sometimes produce epic waves ranging from 50 to 150 meters in length. The area is relatively uncrowded, offering a peaceful surfing experience. However, surfers should be cautious of the natural hazards present at PJ, including urchins, rocks, and the occasional shark sighting. Rips and undertows are also common, so it’s important to be aware of the conditions before entering the water. Access to the spot requires a bit of effort, with a walk from the Bouddi campsite to the coastal walk, where you’ll find a wedge, a bowl, a bombe, and a heavy slab further out. It’s recommended not to paddle out alone and always go with friends. PJ is not suitable for beginners, and surfers should check their skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match their level. Respect the locals, and always check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots.
