Description

Cactus - Point Sinclair, Australia Cactus features fast and fun left-breaking waves over a rocky reef bottom, complemented by sand. This surf spot is located 63 km from Thevenard, requiring a 15-30 minute walk from the nearest access point. It works best at mid to high tide with rising and falling tides, and is influenced by swells from the southwest, south, and southeast. Renowned as one of Australia's premier surf destinations, Cactus offers a unique desert atmosphere and is relatively isolated, making it a hidden gem for die-hard surfers. The area is known for its local surfboard shaper, Paul Gravelle, whose boards are favored by the community. While the chance of encountering sharks is low, surfers should remain cautious of urchins and sharp rocks. The spot typically sees few surfers during the week and on weekends, providing a tranquil surfing experience. Respect for locals and the environment is essential for an enjoyable visit.
