Sandon Point

Tucked along the eastern seaboard, Sandon Point is a right-hand point break that demands respect and rewards only the most prepared. This is a wave for experts—a challenging, fast-moving reef break that surges to life with east swell and handles a compact 3-foot push with surprising power. Low tide is your best bet for the most hollow, critical sections, though mid to high tide can still serve up walls that transition from playful to heavy in a single moment. The take-off over an uneven reef is notoriously tricky, requiring precise positioning as waves ramp up quickly under a favorable southwest breeze, turning the lineup into a pulse-pounding arena. Expect company. Sandon Point draws a dedicated crowd, often referred to locally as "the Jetty," and the atmosphere can be tense. This is a territory where locals rule with an unspoken code, and any surfer out of sync with the rhythm will feel the pressure. Stay alert, be comfortable in the water, and come with your A-game—because here, a misstep can turn a rewarding ride into a lesson in humility.

Best Surf Season (May - August)

Sandon Point springs to life as late autumn and winter settle in over the New South Wales coast. By May, the percentage of ideal surfing winds jumps to 52% and peaks at 58% in July, while average swell periods stretch out to 9.7s. The dominant SSE through SE groundswell sits squarely in the east-facing exposure of the point, and with SW/W/WNW offshore winds becoming the norm, the point breaks crisp and hollow with long walls. This is the core of the season for serious surfers seeking clean, powerful waves.
