Bundeena Wave Laps


Intro

As with other river estuaries around the world, we have noticed that they can sometimes provide exceptionally long surfing rides on occassion which are also generally more kind than beach break waves.

Mark Sundin: “This is a bit of a mystery break in some respects, it's coded as a 'novelty spot' on surf websites, which means when everything else is being obliterated by a big southerly swell or East Coast Low, it's surfable for the board riders. For a kayaker, it mostly provides the sort of gentle, barely breaking waves … They're slow, easy & as consequence-free as you ever get on a paddle craft. On a decent day however, it can be epic & every bit as demanding as a beach break.”

  • Steven John Percival (facebook)“ …I'm not local so I use Tides4Fishing (Bundeena) on my home PC it predicts Tide, wind,surf etc. I have found 1 hour before low tide with a minimum of 2m swell the best.I haven't perfected the swell direction yet but an easterly swell would be best”
