## Spots in Sydney

- [Bondi Beach](https://yosurf.app/spot/bondi-beach): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Australia's most famous beach, a bit of a let-down in the wave department. The south end is bigger, the north suits beginners.
- [Bronte Beach](https://yosurf.app/spot/bronte-beach): Sydney; Beach break / reef; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A small beach with a reef tucked behind the southern cliffs, well sheltered from S winds. The reef gets hollow on E swells.

- [Manly North Steyne](https://yosurf.app/spot/manly-north-steyne): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; The first beach north of Sydney Harbour, split into four areas. The southern corner is sheltered and always packed.

- [Avalon](https://yosurf.app/spot/avalon): Sydney; Beach break / reef; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Well exposed to both SE and NE swells, and one of Sydney's most competitive line-ups. Lefts at the north end.
- [Bilgola Beach](https://yosurf.app/spot/bilgola-beach): Sydney; Beach break / reef; levels intermediate, advanced; Different from its neighbours: it rolls and crumbles over the sandbars. Mellow waves, away from the Newport rat race.
- [Cronulla Point](https://yosurf.app/spot/cronulla-point): Sydney; Point right; levels intermediate, advanced; Seriously powerful right walls when a S-SE swell meets a SW wind. Long, thick and challenging.
- [Curl Curl](https://yosurf.app/spot/curl-curl): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; The most exposed beach on the Northern Beaches. It works in most conditions, without ever being perfect.
- [Mona Vale](https://yosurf.app/spot/mona-vale): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; The Basin, at the north end, stays flat until a solid SE-S swell breaks outside and wraps around the shelf.
- [Newport](https://yosurf.app/spot/newport): Sydney; Beach break / reef; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Two rock-bottomed spots in plain view from Pittwater Road: The Peak to the north, The Reef by the sea pool.
- [Palm Beach](https://yosurf.app/spot/palm-beach-sydney): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; At the foot of the Barrenjoey lighthouse, at the very tip of the peninsula. A grunty left sometimes spins down the bank.
- [South Narrabeen](https://yosurf.app/spot/south-narrabeen): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A long crescent, often uncrowded, with waves so hollow and fast that close-out is the usual outcome.
- [Wanda](https://yosurf.app/spot/wanda): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; The northern end of the Cronulla strand, with more room between access points. Kurnell Point filters out NE swells.
- [Winkipop / Fairy Bower](https://yosurf.app/spot/winkipop-fairy-bower): Sydney; Point right; levels advanced; Two right points on Manly's southern headland. Winki's hits the shelf in front of the cliffs and sucks hard.
- [Queenscliff](https://yosurf.app/spot/queenscliff): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A rivermouth grooms the banks at the north end of Manly. Always crowded, with locals who have made the world tour.
- [Bungan](https://yosurf.app/spot/bungan): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A small beach at the bottom of a long walk down the cliffs. Punchy waves when small, a left off the north rocks.
- [Collaroy](https://yosurf.app/spot/collaroy): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; One end excellent, the other among Sydney's worst. A good place for beginners to get waves to themselves.
- [Coogee Beach](https://yosurf.app/spot/coogee-beach): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; The most thankless beach break in the Eastern Suburbs: deep water and an island in the way. It improves in bigger swells.
- [Elouera](https://yosurf.app/spot/elouera): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; The continuation of the long Cronulla strand: from summer slop to bombing A-frames on peaky swells.
- [Freshwater](https://yosurf.app/spot/freshwater): Sydney; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A small protected cove, also called Harbord. A good right at the southern end, but protective locals and quick crowds.
- [Long Reef](https://yosurf.app/spot/long-reef): Sydney Northern Beaches; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; At the north end of Long Reef, a series of outer bombora reefs handle swell as big as it gets. 'Longie Bombie' focuses S swell and stays almost offshore in the common NE wind, occasionally barrelling at low tide.
- [McKenzies Bay](https://yosurf.app/spot/mckenzies-bay): Sydney Southern Beaches; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Entirely sand-dependent: only NE swell triggers the wedge effect off the cliffs, and ocean storms often scour the bay clean. NE wind is fine here, so late summer is the best bet.
- [Tamarama](https://yosurf.app/spot/tamarama): Sydney Southern Beaches; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A pocket beach producing running lefts off the point in NE/E swell. Mostly sand-bottomed, but the rocks at the southern headland can sneak up fast.
