Best Lesser-Known Surf Spots in Australia


A former account executive at Yelp in San Francisco, Kevin Duron finds software engineers for new projects at Google as a technical sourcer. An avid traveler and surfer, he has taken numerous surf trips around the world. In the near future, Kevin Duron hopes to take a surf trip to Indonesia and Australia. 

Australia is well known as a surfing mecca, but some surfers prefer less crowded waves. Below are just a few of the country’s lesser-known, and less crowded, surf spots. 

- Catherine Hill Bay - Found just two hours north of Sydney in New South Wales, Catherine Hill Bay is a stretch of largely forgotten beach. Its Welsh-style village creates a unique historic feel and surfers can enjoy the beach’s empty waves and barrels. After a day on the water, surfers can also relax at the coal mining town’s old pub or go exploring.

- Agnes Water - Surrounded by national park, Agnes Water offers beautiful views and uncrowded waves. The small town is located in Queensland on the Discovery Coast and regularly receives the Tasman Sea swell. The northernmost surf spot before Australia’s reef starts, Agnes Water remains relatively unknown by the rest of the world.

- Cave Beach - Another New South Wales spot, Cave Beach is found in the Booderee National Park and is owned by the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community. It is a nearby alternative to the oft-crowded Jervis Bay. Cave Beach was recognized as one of the country’s best secluded beach camping spots by Australian Geographic and is thus good for multiday surf trips.
