Surf mini pipe

Mini Pipe - Shellharbour Mini Pipe features a left-breaking reef wave characterized by hollow, fast, and fun sections over a rocky coral bottom. The wave works best at mid to high tide, particularly during summer when the tides reach around 1.6 meters. It is suitable for beginners and offers good barrels, but caution is advised due to sharp rocks and urchins. Accessing Mini Pipe is straightforward; park on the streets near Barrack Point and take a short 5-15 minute walk down to the break. The wave can be inconsistent, often requiring specific conditions to perform well, such as offshore winds from the north or northwest and swells from the south or southeast. While it can be a cozy spot for grommets, surfers should be mindful of local etiquette and avoid dropping in on locals. When conditions align, Mini Pipe can deliver thrilling rides, but be prepared for sections that may close out quickly.
