Description

Crescent Head - New South Wales Crescent Head features a right-point break with a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks, delivering fun waves suitable for experienced surfers. The spot works at all tides, particularly during a falling tide, and is best with swells from the southeast, east, or northeast, while winds from the west, southwest, or south are optimal. This iconic surf destination on the Mid North Coast has been attracting surfers since the 1950s, known for its long, clean waves that allow for impressive maneuvers. However, it is often ultra-crowded, especially on weekends and holidays, with a notable presence of longboarders. While the scenic coastline offers a relaxing atmosphere, surfers should remain vigilant for localism and potential hazards such as rocks and sharks. The nearby river mouth also provides opportunities to spot dolphins, adding to the area's charm.
