Surf Pondie

Pondie - Innes National Park, South Australia Pondie features a reef break with both right and left waves, characterized by flat rocks and sand. The waves can be hollow, fast, and fun, particularly at mid tide. Access involves a 500-meter walk from the parking area within Innes National Park, where you can find signposted directions to the surfers' campground. This spot is a local favorite, often checked first when arriving at Yorkes. While it can get crowded on weekends, weekdays typically see fewer surfers. The best conditions arise after a summer sand formation, with optimal wave performance when not influenced by tide movement. Be cautious of rips and undertow, and keep an eye out for sharks. For those seeking less crowded waves, consider heading up the beach to Richards when Pondie is busy.
